CLIMATE CHANGE
* Prime Minister Scott Morrison says he's investing $3.5 billion towards climate policies and will reduce emissions by 26 per cent. He urged Labor leader Bill Shorten to say how much his higher target of 45 per cent would cost the economy.
* Shorten said there's a greater cost if action isn't taken, and said the government was shying away from making changes needed in the future. He likened changing attitudes to climate change to attitudes towards businesses no longer pouring chemicals in rivers and using asbestos.
TRUST IN POLITICS
* Morrison said voters can trust him because he follows through with promises, such as stopping the boats as immigration minister, returning the budget to surplus as treasurer and fixing the GST for WA.
* Shorten says Labor will create a national integrity commission, to stamp out corruption in politics. He says all his party's policies are out there for the public to see, and he's got a united, stable team.
WAGES
* Morrison denied there was a problem with wages increasing, saying they recently rose by 2.3 per cent. His government will cut taxes for punters, he added.
* Shorten said people didn't want to be told there wasn't a problem with wages, and that he wants to see them rise.
ASYLUM SEEKERS
* The PM defended reopening the Christmas Island detention centre, saying the Home Affairs department advised there would be more asylum seekers under the Medevac bill.
* Shorten said he convinced his party to support boat turnbacks, and that he wants to end the people smuggling businesses. He also said he doesn't want to see the demonisation of refugees.
CLIVE PALMER AND PREFERENCES
* The prime minister said Palmer isn't part of his campaign and the government was pursuing him for not paying his workers. Morrison said Labor tried to get the controversial billionaire's preferences. He said the United Australia Party was less dangerous to the country than Labor and the Greens.
* Shorten says Palmer is playing a chaotic role in the election campaign, and he should pay his debts rather than on advertising.
FRANKING CREDITS
* Morrison says older Australians deserve to be paid the tax refund on their share portfolios, because they've paid tax all their life.
* Shorten says the tax loophole is unsustainable and Australia can no longer afford paying the "gift" to people.
WHAT THEY RESPECT ABOUT EACH OTHER
* Morrison said he respects all members of parliament and anyone who serves their country, which extended to Shorten.
* Shorten said he respected Morrison for those reasons, as well as his work on mental health. He praised the prime minister for being a man of conviction.
