FEDERAL ELECTION CAMPAIGN: DAY 26
--
WHERE THE LEADERS ARE CAMPAIGNING
* Prime Minister Scott Morrison: is in Sydney
* Labor leader Bill Shorten: is in Sydney
WHAT THE COALITION WANTS TO TALK ABOUT
Australia's manufacturing industry and jobs - and how Labor still hasn't explained how it will pay for its big ticket policies.
WHAT LABOR WANTS TO TALK ABOUT:
Will want to build on the momentum of Sunday's campaign launch, with Bill Shorten expected at a hospital to promote his promise to spend more on emergency services - and how the coalition has no ideas.
THE LATEST POLLS
* Both Newspoll and Ipsos polls have been published with similar results. Newspoll in The Australian has Labor ahead of the coalition on 51-49 of the two-party preferred vote. Ipsos for Nine publications has Labor further ahead with 52-48.
As for the primary vote: Newspoll says Labor's is on 36 per cent (-1); coalition unchanged on 38 per cent. Ipsos says Labor's is 33 per cent (-1); 36 per cent (-1).
According to the Nine News, the biggest move was in the preferred prime minister stakes, which sees the opposition leader climb five percent to 40 percent, just five percent adrift of Mr Morrison, who is on 45 percent.
* The two men who want to drive the economy - Treasurer Josh Frydenberg and Labor's Chris Bowen will go head to head at the National Press Club at lunchtime on Monday. Opposition Leader Bill Shorten will take centre stage on ABC TV's Q&A program - an event Prime Minister Scott Morrison unlikely. Just as he won't appear on the ABC's Sunday morning political program, Insiders. He will however front for a long interview with 7.30's Leigh Sales this week.
