Pip Courtney from Landline tells Fran and Patricia which issues have people talking on farms across Australia. The NBN and backpacker tax are high on the agenda outside the cities.

They also discuss a week full of big campaign 'moments'. Bill Shorten announces Labor's childcare policy, Malcolm Turnbull declares himself a feminist and storms along the east coast force the leaders to pause their campaigns.

Also: Barnaby Joyce is a good sport on Facebook, Jacqui Lambie assesses the flood damage in Tasmania, and Labor MP Tony Burke and didgeribone player Tjupurru join Fran for a song.
