Foreign Affairs Minister Julie Bishop has voted in Perth, urging crossbenchers to respect the will of the Australian people and back tax cuts if the Turnbull government is re-elected.
Ms Bishop voted in her safe electorate of Curtin on Saturday morning with her partner David Panton and his two daughters and Senator Michaelia Cash.
"The coalition, if we win, will have the support of the Australian people to implement the very positive economic plan that will underpin the future of this country," she told reporters at Swanbourne Primary School.
"The Australian people are making a very serious decision today about the future of our country and I hope the crossbenchers, I hope the independents, I hope the Greens and every other minor party listen to the will of the Australian people."
Ms Bishop criticised Labor over a plane flying over Perth with a banner saying a vote for the Opposition would stop Medicare being privatised, which she said was a lie.
