The campaign for the July 2 election enters its final week with the fallout from Brexit setting up the next battlefront for the two parties - economic and political stability.
Both Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and Opposition Leader Bill Shorten say only they can ensure the Australian economy stays on track - and they're not being backwards in delivering that message.
In a blistering attack, Mr Shorten said Mr Turnbull was "a weak man beholden to the right wing of his party" and would not be able to deliver a stable and united government.
"One thing we can be sure about is that the temporary suspension of hostilities between the Abbott wing and the Turnbull wing of the Liberal Party will be back out on full display in the days after July 3."
However, Mr Turnbull at his only media event on Saturday - a press conference with Treasurer Scott Morrison on the impact of Britain deciding to leave the European Union - rubbished those accusations.
"This is a day and a time when Australians expect their leaders to focus on the economy, focus on their jobs, focus on their future," he told reporters in Sydney.
He also warned voters against risking change in times of global instability and volatility.
Despite consistent polling over the past seven weeks that shows the coalition and Labor virtually neck and neck, Mr Turnbull will take heart from the Galaxy Research poll published in News Corp papers on Saturday.
It shows Labor has not got the four per cent swing it needs to win the 21 extra seats it needs and may pick up only two of the marginal seats it needs to have a shot at next Saturday's election.
Mr Shorten hasn't been deterred by the polling, telling ALP campaign workers in Townsville that "it's within our grasp".
He'll be in Brisbane on Sunday to front a second Labor Party campaign launch - almost at the same time as the prime minister will do his in Sydney.
Mr Turnbull will launch the Liberal Party campaign in the inner-western Sydney seat of Reid - one of those key marginals it wants to hold onto.
Former Liberal prime ministers John Howard and Tony Abbott will be at the campaign launch, but one-time leader John Hewson won't be.
He'll be addressing a climate change rally in Mr Turnbull's seat of Wentworth at the same time.
Mr Turnbull is also under pressure over his decision to go ahead with Tony Abbott's plebiscite on same-sex marriage after the election.
Rallies calling for politicians to stop delaying were held around the country, with Labor candidate for the seat of Brisbane, Pat O'Neill, who is gay, telling the crowd July 2 was the opportunity to give the LGBT community a "voice at the ballot box".
"Put Malcolm Turnbull last, that's where he's putting us," Mr O'Neill said.
Meanwhile, former PM Paul Keating was back to his caustic best, calling out the Greens at a rally for Labor frontbencher Anthony Albanese in his inner-Sydney seat of Grayndler.
"They're a bunch of opportunists and Trots hiding behind a gum tree pretending to be Labor."
