Child-care affordability dominated the the federal election campaign last week amidst deadly weather on Australia's east coast .
Labor, the Coalition and the Greens have been promoting their visions on the issue of child-care affordability.
Opposition Leader Bill Shorten said he stands by comments he made on women and child care, saying it is not just a women's issue, it is an economic issue.
Both the leaders showed concerns over flood affected people and their business. Both appealed to insurance companies to help and support the victims.
Mr Shorten unveiled Labor's 10-year economic plan with a pledge to return to budget surplus in 2020, same as the Coalition, but without its 50-billion-dollar corporate-tax cut.
Opposition Treasury spokesman Chris Bowen clarified his party's position later, outlining a 6.1-billion-dollar proposal for budget savings.
