A budget to deliver a surplus and an election

Federal Treasurer Josh Frydenberg has handed down a pre-election budget for the Coalition government, his first in the job. Prime Minister Scott Morrison must take the country to an election before the end of May, so the Treasurer is promising tax cuts and infrastructure spending while still delivering a surplus.
