FEDERAL ELECTION CAMPAIGN: DAY 20
WHERE THE LEADERS CAMPAIGNED
* Prime Minister Scott Morrison: Perth (Canning, Lib 6.8 per cent; Cowan, ALP 0.7 per cent)
* Labor leader Bill Shorten: Perth (Swan, Lib 3.4 per cent; Fremantle, ALP 7.5 per cent)
WHAT THE COALITION WANTED TO TALK ABOUT
Community safety as it plans to pay for 2600 more CCTV cameras, and the fact Bill Shorten didn't outline any concrete costings for Labor's policies during Monday night's debate.
WHAT LABOR WANTED TO TALK ABOUT:
Solar power for schools, and last week's low inflation figures pointing to a sluggish economy.
WHAT MADE NEWS:
* The government claims Labor is stirring a hornet's nest with its "socialist experiment" to boost the wages of childcare workers, but the opposition says the special deal would only apply to that sector.
* One Nation's Queensland leader Steve Dickson resigned after footage was aired of a strip club romp in which he groped a dancer and made offensive comments - but his name will stay on ballot papers.
THEY SAID WHAT?
"Ni hao!"
- Former prime minister Kevin Rudd uses his Chinese language skills to try and win over voters in Sydney's south. In the first days of the campaign, Morrison addressed the Mandarin greeting to a woman who fired back that she was Korean.
TWEETED:
Andrew Probyn - @andrewprobyn: "It's not too late to cash in your franking credits, buy a negatively-geared childcare centre positioned neatly on a flood plain with pumped irrigation rights."
