WHAT THEY SAID ON DAY 29 OF THE ELECTION CAMPAIGN

THE BEST LINE

"I wonder if it was Malcolm Turnbull. He did give $1.5 million to Liberal Party last time and they thanked him by giving him the boot."

- Labor leader Bill Shorten on the punter who put $1 million on his party to win.

PRIME MINISTER SCOTT MORRISON

"All I'm seeking to do is have a direct conversation with Australians about the future. It's not a party hoopla event."

- on the Liberal launch this Sunday in Melbourne.

LABOR LEADER BILL SHORTEN

"Just how much power will Clive Palmer, the unnamed minister at the Morrison cabinet table, actually have?"

- on the United Australia Party leader's influence.

REAL PEOPLE

"Even if, heaven forbid, the Labor Party win this election, at least I know that you've put up a very good fight on our behalf."

- Voter in Port Macquarie to Morrison.

THE SUPPORT CAST

"Peter Dutton has been let out of his cave."

- Labor senator Kristina Keneally on the Home Affairs Minister conducting a rare media doorstop outside his marginal Brisbane electorate.
