Day 47 of the federal election campaign

FEDERAL ELECTION CAMPAIGN: DAY 47

WHERE THE LEADERS CAMPAIGNED:

* Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull: Launceston, Devonport in the Liberal marginal seats of Bass and Braddon.

* Labor leader Bill Shorten: Darwin, in the marginal CLP seat of Solomon; Cairns in the LNP seat of Leichhardt.

WHAT THE COALITION TALKED ABOUT:

* As the UK votes to leave the European Union, right now we need stability, leadership and an economic plan. In other words, us.

* Shorten's "lie" on Medicare shows he can't be trusted.

WHAT LABOR TALKED ABOUT:

* Remember how we got you through the global financial crisis.

* The coalition's corporate tax cuts.

* Tougher rules for foreign skilled workers.

WHAT MADE NEWS:

* Treasurer Scott Morrison calls for cool heads to prevail as Britain votes to exit the EU.

* Former PM Paul Keating says coalition's $50 billion plan to reduce the company tax rate is unaffordable.

* Shorten refuses to repeat his claim the coalition has a plan to privatise Medicare.

* Potential flashpoints between China and the United States and the implications of a Donald Trump presidency are likely to be canvassed in a new blueprint for Australian foreign policy.

* Turnbull expects the overwhelming majority of federal politicians to back same-sex marriage legislation in parliament if a plebiscite on the issue is successful.
