The polls also show the two major parties are running neck and neck in the final days of the campaign.

Labor led the coalition at 51 per cent to 49 per cent, on a two-party preferred basis.

A poll published in The Sydney Morning Herald shows about 60 per cent of voters say they will consider climate change while casting their ballot.
