One of the things I learn when I go to the G20 is there are some people's jobs I certainly wouldn't want.

However, Mr Morrison voiced his support for the Prime Minister and his counterpart Chancellor Philip Hammond in the Brexit negotiations, suggesting he "certainly wouldn't want" his job.

Speaking to the Press Association at an event in Sydney, he stopped short of commenting on the Government's strategy itself, but said: "One of the things I learn when I go to the G20 is there are some people's jobs I certainly wouldn't want.

"This is a very challenging issue for the UK government and I commend Chancellor Hammond and of course Prime Minister May for dealing with what is a very challenging set of circumstances.

"I'm not going to be a commentator on what they're doing, I know they are applying themselves fully in what is a very difficult challenge that is very important for the global economy, very important for the European economy, the British economy, and I've only been totally impressed with the way that Chancellor Hammond has been applying himself to this very difficult task."
