FEDERAL ELECTION CAMPAIGN: DAY 25
WHERE THE LEADERS CAMPAIGNED:

* Labor leader Bill Shorten: Sydney, in the Labor seat of Kingsford-Smith.
WHAT THE COALITION TALKED ABOUT:
* Australian technology and selling it into China.
* The stronger-than-expected economic growth figures, and how it's no accident.

* Coalition disunity on superannuation changes.
* Its renewable energy plan.

* The latest growth figures are at odds with declining living standards for most Australians.
* Shorten insists a plan to force commonwealth agencies to run on 50 per cent renewable energy will have no net cost.
* Liberal Democrat David Leyonhjelm has called for the Australia Day Council to be abolished after comments by Australian of the Year David Morrison.
