Mr Morrison toured a timber mill in Launceston, announcing a $220 million forestry package for northern Tasmania. However instead he was facing questions about what's happening to that ICAC he had previously promised. He now says he won't implement a federal ICAC until the "Labor Party is prepared to support that legislation in that form".

"I am not going to introduce a Kangaroo Court," he said.

The backdown has thrust integrity to the centre of the election campaign, overshadowing the Prime Minister's attempts to keep focus on the economy and job creation.

Mr Morrison promised to implement a federal integrity commission during the last election but failed to introduce a bill after disagreements with Labor over the proposed model.

Liberal MP Bridget Archer was also questioned about her support for a national anti-corruption watchdog. She has been an outspoken advocate for a federal ICAC and even crossed the floor of Parliament to support debate on independent Helen Haines' proposal.

Ms Archer said she does not support Labor's proposal but believes in a bipartisan approach.

There was also some sad news from the campaign trail.

Four members of Scott Morrison's security team were rushed to hospital after their car and another vehicle collided in Tasmania.

The vehicle rolled down an embankment off the Bass Highway on Thursday afternoon during the crash, believed to have occurred when the other vehicle attempted to merge.

The collision occurred just outside of Elizabeth Town on the way to Devonport. It is about half way between Launceston and Devonport.

Meanwhile, Mr Albanese visited Cessnock in the mining region of the Hunter Valley in NSW, where he announced a Medicare centre in the region and "guarantees" no jobs will be lost on road to net zero.

The Labor leader also confirmed he would not reverse the "turn back the boats" policy or end offshore detention.

In the economy, the unemployment rate remained steady at 4 per cent, despite the government's goal to get an unemployment figure with a 3 in front of it.

Treasurer Josh Frydenberg took credit for the overall decrease in unemployment, saying the latest job figures were "not just luck" but the result of the Coalition's economic plan.
