WHAT THEY SAID ON DAY 7 OF THE ELECTION CAMPAIGN

THE BEST LINE

PRIME MINISTER SCOTT MORRISON

"They're either being dishonest or sneaky or clueless."

- on Labor's superannuation taxes.

LABOR LEADER BILL SHORTEN

"I thought I was being asked if there were unannounced changes to superannuation and we've already made the announcements of the changes we're going to make ... I should have picked the words better, no question."

REAL PEOPLE

"That's the first real thing I've heard from any campaign, I don't follow the news all that much anyway."

- Auto-electrician Brandon after seeing Bill Shorten in Perth.
