Hello and welcome to another day on this never ending campaign.

We had the second treasurers’ debate last night, which we will go back and visit for you and tonight we have the second leaders’ debate, which we will also cover off tonight.(Edit: Gah! No we don’t that’s tomorrow! I am a day ahead of myself)

The vibe is with Labor, which you can see from Peter Dutton’s increasingly desperate campaigning. Dutton continues to falsely and irresponsibly claim Jim Chalmers thinks there will be a recession next year (very weird message from Dutton given he claims he’s ‘Team Australia’) and yesterday rolled out his 20-year-old son who said he was struggling to save for a house, like we didn’t know his family are multi-millionaires. And when asked the very obvious question – will you help your children when it comes to the housing market – Dutton just avoided it. And in the same press conference, said he wanted to see housing continue to increase. Twice.

That’s what happens when you suddenly find you have to campaign to the whole of Australia and address their issues, rather than just the safety of Sky and 2GB studios.

Meanwhile, Sky News continues to complain that the independent candidates aren’t campaigning in ways they like, this time with Allegra Spender holding a community event and not allowing media (them) in. But Sky News holds forums with candidates all the time (Paul Murray held one with Pauline Hanson and Bob Katter) which is just for them, and while it’s broadcast Sky still controls the show. Soooooo…….

Anyways, we will bring you all the day’s events, and more, as the day rolls out. You have Amy Remeikis with you for most of the day.

Ready? The third coffee is on the stove. And the bowl of mini easter eggs is being depleted as we speak.

Let’s get into it.
