It's said you should never work with animals or children.
Australia's leaders are doing both on Sunday.
Parents will get some relief from growing childcare fees under a Labor government with a $3 billion package Opposition Leader Bill Shorten will launch in Melbourne.
Labor would boost the childcare benefit by 15 per cent and lift the annual cap on fee rebates from $7500 to $10,000, should it win the July 2 election.
It says this will give 813,000 low and middle income families an extra $31 a week.
After meeting dogs and rats during his campaigning, Malcolm Turnbull is looking to save more animals with a $5 million fund to protect threatened species.
On World Environment Day, the prime minister will announce the first nine projects to get money from the new threatened species fund, which focuses on community conservation efforts.
"Protecting our vulnerable wildlife is not a task that governments can do alone," Environment Minister Greg Hunt said in a statement on Sunday.
Mr Turnbull and Mr Shorten are expected to lay wreaths at Melbourne's Shine of Remembrance as part of the RSL's national conference.
Mr Turnbull will be hoping he doesn't become a threatened species with a new poll showing he faces a 10-point swing against him in his electorate of Wentworth.
The ReachTel poll, commissioned by the prime minister's Labor opponent Evan Hughes, finds more than 55 per cent of Wentworth voters say their opinion of Mr Turnbull has dropped since he became prime minister in September.
It suggests his primary vote would fall from 63 per cent to 53 per cent - still a winning lead.
Meanwhile, News Corp says a poll has found top issues for voters are: caring for the elderly, housing affordability, accountability, and employment opportunities.
