WHAT THEY SAID ON DAY 29 OF THE ELECTION CAMPAIGN
THE BEST LINE
"I wonder if it was Malcolm Turnbull. He did give $1.5 million to Liberal Party last time and they thanked him by giving him the boot."
- Labor leader Bill Shorten on the punter who put $1 million on his party to win.
PRIME MINISTER SCOTT MORRISON
"All I'm seeking to do is have a direct conversation with Australians about the future. It's not a party hoopla event."
- on the Liberal launch this Sunday in Melbourne.
LABOR LEADER BILL SHORTEN
"Just how much power will Clive Palmer, the unnamed minister at the Morrison cabinet table, actually have?"
- on the United Australia Party leader's influence.
REAL PEOPLE
"Even if, heaven forbid, the Labor Party win this election, at least I know that you've put up a very good fight on our behalf."
- Voter in Port Macquarie to Morrison.
THE SUPPORT CAST
"Peter Dutton has been let out of his cave."
- Labor senator Kristina Keneally on the Home Affairs Minister conducting a rare media doorstop outside his marginal Brisbane electorate.
