Bill Shorten has laid out the priorities of a Labor government at an all-star campaign launch in Brisbane.

Chloe Shorten gave a funny, candid heartfelt speech to introduce her husband Bill, whom she described as "a wonderful dad, a terrible dancer, and a very proud bulldog owner".

Labor  stressed the unity of its team by displaying the entire shadow cabinet on stage, and by bringing former prime ministers Julia Gillard and Kevin Rudd together.

Queensland premier Annastacia Palaszczuk introduced them along with Paul Keating  as "three great Australians, three great Labor leaders, three great prime ministers".

Shorten himself made a crack about former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, saying his name would not be mentioned at any other launch during this election campaign.

The Liberals' campaign spokesperson slammed Mr Shorten for not providing costings for his policies.
