PM talks up economic management

Malcolm Turnbull insists voters should measure his government's economic leadership by economic growth and lower unemployment.

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has urged voters to measure his government's economic leadership by three per cent real economic growth, lower unemployment and the creation of 26,000 jobs last month.

Mr Turnbull cited economic leadership as a key reason for toppling former prime minister Tony Abbott in September last year and has faced strong criticism for not outlining a tax reform package.

"If you measure our economic leadership by economic performance, we're not doing too bad a job," he told ABC TV on Sunday night ahead of a special sitting of parliament that could lead to an early July 2 election.
