What leaders Scott Morrison and Bill Shorten and their teams are up to in the federal election campaign.


FEDERAL ELECTION CAMPAIGN: DAY 14

WHERE THE LEADERS ARE CAMPAIGNING

* Prime Minister Scott Morrison: is in Darwin for the first time, where the two seats of Solomon and Lingiari are a chance for the coalition because of the unpopularity of the NT Labor government.

* Labor leader Bill Shorten: is starting his day in Townsville, in the ultra-marginal seat of Herbert.

WHAT THE COALITION WANTS TO TALK ABOUT

On the eve of Anzac Day, the prime minister will be focused on Australia's defence personnel with announcements to help veterans and local industries working with defence, and an announcement on the latest rotation of US Marines to Darwin.

WHAT LABOR WANTS TO TALK ABOUT:

Wages and helping casual workers get permanent employment and probably the Barnaby Joyce water buyback issue, but NOT the controversial Adani coal mine project.

THEY SAID WHAT?

* "These are men and women who signed up to the Australian Defence Force prepared to put their lives on the line for our nation so we need to do more to both respect and recognise our returned service men and women." - Veteran Affairs Minister Darren Chester.

* "While some people like the flexibility that casual work provides, for others it has become a constant worry - never knowing what it's like to have a paid sick day or paid holiday." - Labor leader Bill Shorten.

* The Australian Electoral Commission ballot draw will happen today to decide where each candidates is listed on the ballot - an how long the Senate voting papers will be.
