Prime Minister Scott Morrison focused his efforts in regional Queensland on Friday, speaking in Flynn which is held by Liberal MP Ken O’Dowd with a margin of one per cent.
Meanwhile, Bill Shorten remained in Sydney, where he remembered former Labor leader Bob Hawke as a legacy who changed the shape of Australian politics. One day out from the federal election, a YouGov Galaxy poll shows the Coalition trailing Labor 49 to 51 on a two-party preferred basis.
