Turnbull rallies colleagues with 2018 plan

A revved-up Malcolm Turnbull has rallied his colleagues as he prepares to fight 2018 on tax cuts and household budgets.

Nominating energy reforms and child care changes as high on the government's agenda for the year, the prime minister also talked up the priority of delivering tax cuts to families.

"We have got a lot to do to continue delivering that economic growth, the jobs that Australians need, and our children and grandchildren are counting on," he told the coalition party room in Canberra on Tuesday.
