Turnbull warns Aussies of tougher economic times

Canberra

AUSTRALIAN Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull warned that tougher economic times loom for the nation, even as voters signal their discontent with his government.

"We have had a good run over the last 25 years of continued economic growth," Mr Turnbull said in a speech in Canberra on Wednesday. "But the truth is that there are many parts of Australia where times are not so good, where jobs are scarce and prospects look less promising than they were."
