Morrison coy on returning balanced budget

Federal treasurer Scott Morrison says we'll have to wait a week to see if the government is planning to return a balanced budget.

Treasurer Scott Morrison is refusing to say whether the federal government is committed to returning the budget to balance in 2020/21

"We'll update the projections on the budget balance next week," he told ABC radio on Monday of Tuesday's week's budget.

"That's the time we'll do that, not today."
