“And my judgment is that we need to negotiate in good faith and to see whether or not we can get support in the Senate,” Mr Dutton told the Seven Network on Tuesday night.
Mr Dutton’s neighbour in the Queensland electorate of Petrie, Luke Howarth, has been leading calls within the Coalition to reconsider the tax cuts before the next election.
“The fact is there’s no point taking a policy if it’s going to be defeated in the Senate and not looked after,” he told 2GB Radio on Wednesday.
Mr Morrison, who has had differing opinions with Mr Dutton on policies in the past, acknowledged that the company tax cuts were politically difficult but were the right thing for the country.
“We’re not in this business of political expediency to jettison policies that we think are good for the Australian economy,” he said.
