Here are the stories making news this morning: - Treasurer Scott Morrison says an RBA memo suggesting curbing negative gearing could be good for financial stability is "out of date" and not a commentary on Labor's policy.

- ABC political reporter Dan Conifer has outlined five policy areas that will be key battlegrounds for the two big parties during the campaign. He said there's a huge difference in health and education funding, housing policy, company tax rates, carbon pricing and industrial relations
- Newly appointed Labor frontbencher, Senator Patrick Dodson, has revived the debate about constitutional recognition and addressed the growing support for a treaty. The Greens are now calling on both major parties to clearly outline their positions on the best path to reconciliation

ICYMI: Trade Minister Steve Ciobo and opposition transport spokesman Anthony Albanese were on Lateline
Mr Ciobo said he thinks Australians are "over the class warfare rhetoric" and isn't worried the Opposition's "Malcolm's millionaires" tag will stick. "I talk to Aussies all the time and they just positively groan at the negativity and the class warfare card that Bill Shorten is playing," he said. You can watch the interview here.
Mr Albanese was asked whether Labor was on a unity ticket with the Coalition on asylum seeker policy. He said they had "a very different position". Watch his explanation here
