Welcome to week three of the federal election campaign, with Australians heading to the polls on May 21.

The campaign continues to be dominated by national security concerns, with experts warning Chinese warships could be deployed to the Solomon Islands on Australia's doorstep within weeks after Beijing signed a controversial security deal with Honiara.

Labor unveiled its Pacific policy on Tuesday outlining its "comprehensive plan" for the region, while today millions of low-income Australians will receive a $250 cost-of-living bonus unveiled in last month's federal budget full of pre-election handouts.

Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese enjoys a comfortable lead over Prime Minister Scott Morrison, with the latest Newspoll showing Labor ahead of the Coalition 53-47 on a two-party-preferred basis, unchanged from the last two Newspolls conducted since the election was called.
