Federal election: Dan Andrews steals Anthony Albanese's spotlight at press conference

In a delightfully awkward campaign trail moment today, everyone seemed to temporarily forget who was actually the opposition leader.

Anthony Albanese was left lurking in the background while Daniel Andrews took centre stage at today's press conference.

Welcome to another day of live election campaign coverage.

Scott Morrison has once again backed his controversial candidate for Warringah, Katherine Deves, during one of his most sustained grillings of the campaign.

In a frequently combative press conference, the Prime Minister was also asked whether he was a "buffoon" for calling the NSW anti-corruption body a "kangaroo court".

Anthony Albanese was in Victoria this morning to spruik more than $2 billion in funding for the Suburban Rail Loop. Mr Morrison has accused him of being a "pushover" who will "throw money" at Labor state governments - a claim that set off Premier Daniel Andrews' temper today.

And though it feels as though we just had a debate, another one is looming tomorrow night, so Scott Morrison and Mr Albanese will be sharpening their arguments ahead of that.

Read on for the latest updates.
