That's a wrap for the federal election blog once again.

We're close — oh, so close — to the finish line now, with just one final day of campaigning to take place tomorrow before it's election day proper.

Join us tomorrow to stay up-to-date on the latest news from the campaign trail, as the parties pull out all the stops to reach those undecided voters — yes, they exist — who plan to make up their minds sometime between now and once they're inside the voting booth.

Don't forget to check out the rest of today's online coverage at our Australia Votes page — or you can try out the ABC's Vote Compass tool, to see how your views align with those of the political parties and candidates.

Have a great evening.

If you're looking for a wrap of what we've discovered in the Coalition's costings, look no further — Tom Crowley has put a story together.

What's the bottom line, you ask?

Well, the Coalition's bottom line would be $7.9 billion worse off than Labor's over the first two years of a Dutton government — but $21.8 billion better off over the following two.

Most of the improvement comes from a $17.2 billion public service cut, and a $3.6 billion vaping tax, but migration cuts will cost the budget $4.2 billion and nuclear power will have an eventual $118 billion "off-budget" cost.

Read the full story from political reporter Tom Crowley below.

Controversial energy proposals are dominating the campaign in southern WA, with Labor backing offshore wind and the Coalition's proposing nuclear in the coal-mining community of Collie.

Voting in Bunbury, 22-year-old Baden Ross-Willmore says he favoured nuclear.

"The offshore wind thing is terrible," Mr Ross-Willmore says.

"We want to keep the ocean as clean as we can. It's one of the least explored areas of the earth, why would we go putting wind farms out there?"

"Nuclear [is] the way the world is going its going to be the only way forward and it's going to have to happen at some point."

Not everyone is on board with nuclear.

Anita Lindemann lives in Donnybrook, another inland town in WA's South West.

"I'm not interested in having nuclear anywhere in the radius of our town and people's homes," she says.

"I don't think it will happen but even the talk of it seems ridiculous when we've invested so much in our green energy."

Peter Dutton has ended a hectic day on the trail by giving a pep talk to around 200 supporters at a Liberal Party rally in Adelaide.

He received a rapturous reception when he was welcomed to the stage by the party's candidate for Boothby, Nicole Flint.

His speech to the party faithful hit all the same notes we've heard through the campaign, including — you guessed it — a cut to the fuel excise.

"As I've said, it's a 25-cents-a-litre cut. And my friends in the media here love to hear me say that, because we say it about 20 or 30 times a day, and Australians are hearing it," he said.

He also repeated his prediction that the opinion polls, which show Labor ahead of the Coalition, will turn out to be wrong.

"Don't believe what you see in the press at the moment. This is a 2019 again," he said.

The rally was being held in the seat of Sturt, which is currently held by Liberal MP James Stevens on a margin of just 0.5 per cent.

Some voters at the early voting centre at The Entrance on the New South Wales Central Coast, say they are not voting for either of the major parties.

The seat of Dobell was won by Labor's Emma McBride in 2016 and is currently held by a margin of 6.6 per cent of the vote.

Kieran Osborn cast his vote with son Finley in tow and says he wants change.

"Greens were my vote," he says.

"Their support for the middle class, it relates to our family's values … and my friend group up at work, the majority are going towards Greens and that's a big change recently."

And he isn't alone, another voter named Erin came to the polling booth undecided.

"Not necessarily having to rely on one of two choices, one of two bad choices, in my opinion," she says.

"I think having a strong cross bench and potentially a minority government is probably the better of the choices."

She says she isn't confident that the next government will have a positive impact on Australia's future.

"I think they're all full of hot air and they make a lot of promises that are never followed through."

Is Albanese looking a little bit overconfident?

"No, he is hungry," Shorten replies.

"I think that even his trenchant critics would say that really, not just since the start of the campaign, but since the start of the year, he's had a strategy."

Labor think they're in with a chance in Sturt. Are they?

"They always think they're in with a chance with Sturt. The number of times they wrote me off is hard to remember," Pyne replies.

"But I love it when Labor say they're going to win Sturt, because it always rallies the [Liberal] faithful."

What's going to happen to Labor's seats in Victoria?

"I think it was a lot more diabolical six or seven weeks ago," Shorten replies.

"I suspect that Astin's a battle, there's no question about that. But I think in the outer suburbs of Melbourne, they've had a look at Peter Dutton and gone 'Nup. Not this time.'"

That's a wrap for the night on the Shorten-Pyne show — which I've just realised has been holding down the old Clarke & Dawe timeslot.

Happily, Ferguson confirms we'll be hearing from them again after the election.

Shorten isn't on board with Pyne's thesis that right-wing minor parties aren't a threat to the Coalition because their vote will return through preferences.

"Chris's words must be a sort of soothing balm and tonic for anxious Liberal backbenchers in marginal seats, but the truth of the matter is that One Nation's preferences historically have flowed about 65 per cent to the Liberal Party," he says.

"So they don't want to see primary votes, which they need in their poll, going anywhere else."

Regarding Dutton's comments about the media, he adds that sure, no-one wants to be "smeared" in an election campaign — but "elections are tough".

"But I don't know why [Dutton] went on a frolic about the Welcome to Country," he says.

"That's got bugger-all to do with the cost of living.

"Chris wouldn't have been so undisciplined. When he sticks on a message, he is like a ferocious Rottweiler on the topic."

"It's true. Like velcro. I'm like velcro shoes! Which are fortunately out of fashion," Pyne chimes in.

Pyne is asked next about the turn the Dutton campaign took in the campaign's final week, including a focus on Welcome to Country ceremonies, and his comments labelling the ABC and The Guardian "hate media".

"Is that an appeal to right-wing voters to keep them with the Liberals and to mitigate against them going off to One Nation or Trumpet?" Ferguson asks.

Pyne responds that he doesn't think people need to worry about right-wing voters voting for the Liberal Party.

"There are no right-wing voters voting for the Labor Party. And if they vote for the Trumpet of Patriots or for One Nation, their preferences will come back to the Liberal Party," he says.

"That's the reality, in the same way as most people who vote Green will [preference] the Labor Party."

As for the "hate media" comments?

"I think that was Peter Dutton reacting to the hatchet job done on him and his family by Four Corners on Monday night," he says.

It's worth pointing out Dutton first used the phrase on Sunday morning, more than 24 hours before Four Corners aired its investigation — which showed he had failed to declare for two years that he was the beneficiary of a family trust that operated lucrative childcare businesses when he was a cabinet minister.

Ferguson tells Pyne she's noticed Sky News has "already unsheathed the knives".

"They're running headlines [like] 'Disastrous Liberal campaign', 'Will Peter Dutton remain?', 'Is all hope lost?'" she says.

"What do you say?"

Pyne says he thinks that's "all very exciting", albeit "very bleak", but his sense is that the result for the Coalition is not going to be "nearly as bad as either the polls show or the bubble suggests".

"I think there'll be some quite unusual results in a number of different seats, and I still believe that Labor will be in a minority if they form a government," he says.

"I don't believe they'll hang on to all their seats or increase their majority, I think that is a lot of hyperbole, and I think that out in the suburbs there are a lot of people who can't pay their bills.

"[They're] very angry about the cost of living, they're very angry about petrol prices and the way things have been run over the last three years — and I doubt they're talking to the pollsters."

For what it's worth, Pyne pronounces "hyperbole" flawlessly — which isn't always a given for politicians on 7.30.

Former Labor opposition leader Bill Shorten and former Liberal minister Christopher Pyne are up now on 7.30 — sadly, for the last time before the election.

Host Sarah Ferguson opens by asking Shorten — who famously lost the 2019 election despite holding a lead in the polls for most of the campaign — whether we should trust those same polls this time around.

He points out Labor's lead currently is greater than the one he held in 2019, before getting to the crux of things.

"Can I just say what a lot of people are thinking out there who follow politics?" he says.

"That is, the Liberal campaign would have to be the worst campaign since maybe Mark Latham's in 2004, or maybe the 1977 election.

"This is probably the biggest trainwreck … in 18 federal elections.

"I'm sure the professional in Chris is quietly — like an Edward Munch painting — he's sort of screaming on the inside."

That's not a typo — Shorten pronounces Edvard Munch's name (pronounced Ed-vard Moonk) just like that, "Ed-wood Munch", and Ferguson pulls him up on it.

"Here we go again … I think we need to spend some time off camera, Bill, talking art and culture," Pyne says.
