Tony Abbott says his government's second budget will make people "optimistic and confident".
Announcing $840 million in preschool funding as part of the May 12 budget, the prime minister said his government is on the path to fixing the economy that was damaged by six years of Labor government.
"Our country is coming back. Our economy is strengthening and I think people will be more confident and optimistic on budget night," Mr Abbott told reporters in Sydney.
