There is no stop clock, but David Speers will try and ensure there is equal time.

Peter Dutton won the toss and gets the first word.

In the meantime, the AFR has released its latest polling showing the parties are on 50-50 on the 2PP preferred measure,

Phil Coorey reports:

This represents a 1 percentage point improvement for Labor since the campaign started when the Coalition held a 51-49 lead, and the first time the Coalition has not led the two-party vote since July last year.

Dutton, who has had a chequered campaign so far, dropped 4 percentage points as preferred prime minister, affording Anthony Albanese a clear lead of 46 per cent to 41 per cent.

The campaign will go into abeyance over Easter before hostilities resume on Monday, ahead of pre-poll voting beginning Tuesday and the election on May 3.
