Bill Shorten has strayed into enemy territory with a cheeky Sunday morning run through the prime minister's blue ribbon Sydney electorate.
Mr Shorten, who ran 7.6km from Bondi to Clovelly and back, was full of praise for Wentworth's serenity in the harbour city's eastern suburbs.
The Labor campaign bus, plastered with Mr Shorten's larger-than-life face, followed his jaunt along the popular coastal route.
Staying healthy was still on his mind as he visited a medical centre in inner-west Drummoyne, located in the marginal Liberal seat of Reid which Labor hopes to pick up on July 2.
There Mr Shorten plugged another big-ticket health measure to Katherine Loupis and her 15-month-old daughter Eleanor while GP Robert Maher attended to the youngster's cough.
Taxpayer-subsidised medicines will not be as expensive under Labor as they will be under the coalition.
That's because Labor will stick by annual indexed increases to co-payments and the safety net threshold for prescriptions under the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme.
The coalition, on the other hand, plans to sting most Australians $5 extra for each prescription. Concession card holders would pay an additional 80 cents.
The $1.3 billion savings measure has been in limbo since the 2014 budget because it can't clear the Senate.
"In this election you can vote Labor to put downward pressure on the price of medicine or you can vote Liberal where the price of medicine just goes up and up," Mr Shorten said.
Ms Loupis told him the rising cost of medicines was putting a squeeze on the budget of young families and the elderly.
In a nearby park, Mr Shorten bonded with Josh and Ben Tukadra, 10, over the merits of having a twin brother.
"I know sometimes when you're a twin you have disagreements," he told them.
"But at a certain point when you're an adult you realise your best friend is your twin brother and you look out for each other."
Still bruised from barbs about his daggy dancing in the South Pacific, Mr Shorten politely declined to try out a new dance move.
The twins with their older brother Luka, turning 11, and younger sister Tahlia, 8, taught the opposition leader how to dab - an internet craze taking primary schools by storm.
It involves burying one's head in one's elbow and pointing the other arm at the sky.
Mr Shorten might not have known it, but the dance is said to have originated from dabbing - an action taken where someone snorts cocaine from their elbow while acting like they are sneezing.
