UPDATE 1-Australian PM visits governor-general amid election speculation
Morrison will hold a media conference at 8 a.m. (2200 GMT), the prime minister's officer said. He is expected to announce the date of the election at that time. Governor General Peter Cosgrove represents Britain's Queen Elizabeth and his authorisation is necessary to dissolve Parliament and order a general election.
Term limits mean the poll must be held in May. Morrison's centre-right coalition is trailing the opposition Labor party in opinion polls, suggesting a landslide loss for the government. (Reporting by Tom Westbrook; editing by Darren Schuettler, Sandra Maler and Leslie Adler)
