Morrison on mend after emergency surgery

Treasurer Scott Morrison is on the mend after emergency surgery in the Canberra Hospital.

The senior Liberal frontbencher posted on Facebook his thanks to staff in the hospital's acute surgery ward and emergency department, saying he was the road to full recovery and expected to return to parliament next week.

"Was also nice to get a welfare visit from the boss (Malcolm Turnbull) yesterday afternoon to make sure I was on the mend," he wrote.
