The weekend wash up and today's news.

Just hours after the Liberal party released a new television ad, Twitter users quickly responded to the campaign via #FakeTradie.
The 30-second video accuses the Labor Party of waging a war on business, featuring a piece-to-camera monologue from a pleasant-but-downcast tradie expressing concern over a Bill Shorten government.
