Hung parliament not on leaders' minds

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has declined to say how he would approach a hung parliament if the coalition fails to win an absolute majority in the federal election.

The latest Newspoll shows the vote for minor parties and independents sitting on 22 per cent.

"Five weeks to go in the campaign, I am running this election campaign to form a Liberal-National majority government," Mr Morrison told reporters in Melbourne on Monday.

Similarly, Labor leader Bill Shorten said his party was intending to form a majority government.

"That's the case we'll put to the Australian people," he told reporters in Melbourne.

"Before you write off our chances, I won't."

Mr Morrison warned voters should be wary of Labor's "cosy" links with the Greens.

"Labor and the Greens are as thick as," he said.

A number of high-profile independents are running in the election campaign, with six current lower house crossbench MPs recontesting.

The opinion poll also showed One Nation's primary vote dropping to four per cent, the lowest since 2016.

Deputy Labor leader Tanya Plibersek said it seemed people were cottoning to One Nation leader Pauline Hanson telling them she was the friend of workers and pensioners while out in the electorate but voting with the Liberals in Canberra.

"Maybe people are catching up with the fact that she's very dishonest with the way she portrays herself when she's out on the hustings compared to what she actually does when she's in Canberra," Ms Plibersek told reporters in Adelaide.
