SCOTT MORRISON'S KEY CAMPAIGN THEMES
* A STRONG ECONOMY
Mr Morrison is spruiking the government's commitment to a strong economy, its plan for a budget surplus in 2019/20, commitment to low unemployment and more jobs as well as tax cuts.
"Keeping our economy strong is how we secure your future and your family's future. Keeping our economy strong ensures that we can secure your wage, your job, your business and, importantly, the business you are going to work for today."
* BORDER SECURITY
The former immigration minister says Labor's approach to national security will weaken Australia's borders, and will no doubt ramp up his championing of Operation Sovereign Borders throughout the campaign.
"We will keep Australians safe as Liberal National governments always do, and we will keep our borders secure, as you know we will."
* FUNDING FOR ESSENTIAL SERVICES
The prime minister says having a strong economy means guaranteed funding for essential services Australians rely on, such as schools, hospitals, medicines, roads, aged care and disability care.
"All of these are now at record levels of funding that only a strong economy can guarantee into the future, not higher taxes."
* A FAIR GO FOR THOSE WHO HAVE A GO
As treasurer, Mr Morrison sought to crack down on the welfare system, with the aim of ensuring people who needed help the most received government assistance. As prime minister, this ambition has been translated into his "a fair go for those who have a go" motto.
"Part of the promise that we all keep, as Australians, is that we make a contribution and don't seek to take one."
