In a speech to the National Press Club, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has touted his side's economic plan and put special emphasis on industrial-relations action.
Opposition Leader Bill Shorten has been in Queensland to warn voters of a future Coalition government's potential threat to publicly funded healthcare.
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has not strayed from the Coalition's core messaging during his address at the National Press Club in Canberra.
"At this election, my Coalition team is presenting a clear economic plan to secure Australia's future. From day one, if re-elected, we will be working harder than ever to deliver our national economic plan -- driving investment, jobs and growth, firing up our high-tech innovation sector."
There was a reminder, too, of how Australians came to be voting in a double-dissolution election, which means all seats in the House of Representatives and the Senate are at stake.
Mr Turnbull announced, if the Coalition is returned to government, he will convene a joint sitting of parliament to vote on legislation that served to trigger the July 2 vote.
The legislation would restore the Australian Building and Construction Commission and the Registered Organisations Bill, which creates an investigative commission for unions.
The legislation twice failed to pass the upper house.
Mr Turnbull also repeated the Coalition's promise of changes to the Fair Work Act in the wake of the volunteer firefighters' union dispute in Victoria.
Later, he was asked, if re-elected, whether he and other political leaders should do more to communicate with Australia's refugee and migrant communities.
In reply, Malcolm Turnbull praised Australia's multicultural society but promptly returned to the Coalition mantra.
"Our 24 million Australians -- magnificent in our diversity, remarkable in our success as a multicultural nation -- they are our greatest assets, not the rocks under the ground. But you know, for them to thrive, for them to have the opportunities they deserve, to be able to realise their dreams, they need that strong economic growth. They need a government that recognises the time and the tenor of the times in which we live."
Opposition Leader Bill Shorten was in Queensland to promote the Labor Party's plans on healthcare.
He also used a visit to the Royal Brisbane Hospital to remind voters of changes to Medicare already introduced by the Coalition.
"Talking to the oncology nurses made me realise that the cuts to pathology and diagnostic-imaging bulk-billing start tomorrow, on July 1st. The cuts start tomorrow. And Australians have a chance to stop these cuts by voting Labor on Saturday. The case is pretty clear. The choice is very clear. You can either have Malcolm Turnbull or you can have well-funded Medicare."
Like the Prime Minister, Mr Shorten has faced questions about his political future if his party were to lose the election.
It is being reported that key New South Wales senator Sam Dastyari is considering shifting support from Mr Shorten to his 2013 Labor leadership rival, Anthony Albanese.
The Opposition Leader deflected a question on the issue from conservative radio host Alan Jones on Radio 2-G-B earlier.
"It's no surprise -- and you're a veteran of politics, Alan -- that, in the last couple of days, the kitchen sink gets thrown at you in order to discourage people from voting for you. But, I want to assure Australians, at a personal level, I'm the fittest I've been in nearly three decades, and, as a party, we're the healthiest we've been. We're united. I think there's a lot of underlying tension in the Liberal Party. We know, you know, people tell you, that there is a great deal of dissatisfaction within the Liberal Party about their current leader."
