00:00All aboard the Gold Coast Light Rail.

00:07Stephen Miles joined by the Prime Minister for the first time this campaign.

00:13Both no doubt hoping to boost their election prospects.

00:16I'll tell you what, this bloke here is going to get better and better.

00:21Gold Coast Light Rail is a Labor success story and one we're proud to keep building upon.

00:27Keen to build on the 50 cents and other cost of living measures too, like free school lunches

00:32for primary kids.

00:34We can help all of those busy mums by taking one chore off their list every morning.

00:39It was the hot topic at school pick up.

00:41It would be a big help for parents as well, they could put money towards other extracurricular

00:48activities if they wanted to.

00:49Oh no, because my kids pack their own lunch, so that's a chore for them.

00:54What about all the other problems we've got?

00:57The LNP was on the Sunshine Coast visiting three seats it's desperate to win back.

01:03With pre-polling now open, the early voting queue was already long.

01:08I'm looking for cost of living initiatives and I haven't seen any from the LNP so I can't

01:13vote for them.

01:14Do you know who you're going to vote for today?

01:15No, not yet.

01:16I don't know until I'm in there.

01:19The opposition leader promised $10 million to deliver eight neuro-wellness hubs across

01:24the state.

01:25It's comprehensive care and support for epilepsy, dementia, MS, Parkinson's, muscular dystrophy.

01:35All that pressing the flesh was enough to work up an appetite.

01:41At a low-cost supermarket he met some of the more vulnerable.

01:44It's really miserable man, it was no good when Libra was in either.

01:47You can blame each other, that's cool.

01:49Cost of living might be a key focus, but Mr Crisofulli continues to sidestep questions

01:55about potential moves to change abortion laws.

01:58Specifically if he would allow his MPs a conscience vote.

02:02Now the topic of nuclear has also flared up.

02:05What is it about nuclear you don't like?

02:07I've got a plan.

02:09He's at odds with his federal leader, Peter Dutton, who wants to establish two nuclear

02:14power plants in Queensland.

02:16We've mapped out a strategy and we're dealing with the things right now that we control

02:20and that is our focus and nuclear is not part of our plan.
