CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?

We have made it to the final week.

Mostly intact.

Not sure if we can say the same for the nation though.

The last debate (we could not bring ourselves to cover another one) went down much as the others – sticking to lines, false fights and ridiculous calls to the margins – in this case, Peter Dutton doing all he can to dog whistle about Welcome to Country ceremonies.

Shockingly, the man who boycotted the National Apology to the Stolen Generations and destroyed the Voice referendum with a bunch of lies, Welcome to Country ceremonies are “overdone”.

Dutton’s final week will be a full mask-off moment, where he will do all he can to woo One Nation voters in the outer rim seats and he’ll do it relentlessly.

So prepare yourself for that. The other stand out moment was over whether or not Donald Trump owns a mobile phone. So yeah. It went places.

We’ll cover the day as it happens. You have Amy Remeikis with you, and the brains of the Australia Institute at your disposal.

I will need three coffees to get through these next few hours.

Ready? Let’s get into it.
