Earlier this month the Federal Government passed its tax cuts for millions of Australian workers, promised in the first sitting week since May election.


Federal politicians have spent the last two weeks back in the electorates as parliament rose, but it's been a busy week for the Government.

The PM is ending the week by meeting New Zealand's Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, in Melbourne.

It's their first meeting since Mr Morrison went to New Zealand to pay his respects to the victims of the Christchurch terror attack.
