Treasurer Scott Morrison warns Bill Shorten presents a "triple threat" to the Australian economy.

Mr Morrison said Labor was engaging in "distractions and conspiracy theories" rather than setting out an economic plan.

"Labor presents a triple threat to our economy: higher deficit, higher debt and higher taxes," Mr Morrison told reporters in Brisbane on Tuesday.
