Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico has been moved from hospital, two weeks after being seriously wounded in an assassination attempt.

Fico has served as prime minister for more than 10 of the last 18 years - returning to power last September, leading a populist-nationalist coalition.

UK Correspondent Gavin Grey told Heather du Plessis-Allan “He’s not out of the woods yet - he was shot several times, undergoing a number of operations.”

Grey said “Slovakia is really polarised at the moment – the attack has deepened tensions.”

The Government's Budget centrepiece has passed in the House - and tax cuts will become law. 

By shifting income tax brackets, it will give earners earning more than $14,000 dollars an extra $4-$40 a fortnight. 

Senior Political Correspondent Bary Soper told Heather du Plessis Allan “We’ve seen nothing like it in 14 years – since the tax brackets were last moved.”

Soper said they should have been moved gradually over the years, as they don't catch up for where they would’ve been.
