Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and Opposition Leader Bill Shorten have claimed their policies will help Australia survive any economic fallout from the growing chance of Britain leaving the European Union. 
As the Australian sharemarket shed another $15 billion in value yesterday on the back of the threat posed by a "leave" vote at next week's British referendum, Mr Shorten and Mr Turnbull said it was their policy agendas that would keep Australia out of turmoil. Mr Turnbull said the  coalition had  policies  to withstand economic troubles. "We have strong, committed, capable economic leadership, a stable government with a clear national economic plan," he said. Mr Shorten said: "If we want to make sure Australia has the capacity to stand overseas, you make that by investing in education and national broadband networks."
