Prime Minister Scott Morrison has announced that the federal election will be held on Saturday the 18th of May 2019.
The announcement was made at a press conference held by the Prime Minister on Thursday morning, following an early meeting with the governor general, Sir Peter Cosgrove.
Morrison says there is a “clear choice” at this election, with “so much at stake,” and that the decision Australians make will not only determine the economy for the next three years, but the next decade.
