Federal election 2019: Day 35 of the election campaign

Scott Morrison has taken a swipe at Labor during a Chinese community event in Sydney tonight telling guests they wouldn't hear him accuse "Asian people" of "taking your jobs" - words used by former NSW Labor leader Michael Daley.

Scott Morrison has taken a swipe at Labor during a Chinese community event in Sydney tonight telling guests they wouldn't hear him accuse "Asian people" of "taking your jobs" - words used by former NSW Labor leader Michael Daley.

The prime minister made the comments at the iconic Sydney eatery Golden Century, in a pitch to the 100-strong crowd that the Coalition government would better back them and their families.

“You won’t hear from me as you heard from the NSW Labor leader recently that Chinese or Asian people (are) taking your jobs,” he said.

“And you know you heard that in the election and you know that it took Bill Shorten till after the election, six days before he denounced that statement."

Meanwhile, Scott Morrison revealed who will hold "key portfolios" in his Cabinet if the Coalition wins the federal election.

“What Australians need to know is in the key portfolios. Treasury Josh Frydenberg, Defence Linda Reynolds, Home Affairs Peter Dutton, Foreign Affairs Marise Payne … and of course Finance with Mathias Cormann,” Mr Morrison said.

The Prime Minister didn't name who would be responsible for Indigenous affairs, women, or jobs.

And Bill Shorten said he is "up for the fight" to deliver controversial tax reforms if Labor wins the election and is faced with a divided Senate.

He also said he would “certainly be talking” to Julie Bishop when asked if he would consider her to replace Joe Hockey as Australia’s ambassador in the United States.

Labor also has plans to introduce a "one-stop shop" to tackle wage theft, and wants to bring unions and businesses together at a summit to discuss “how we can do workplace relations better for everyone”.

And Labor great Bob Hawke has written an open letter to voters calling on them to vote for Bill Shorten and his team at Saturday’s federal election.
