About this listen

Anthony Albanese won the first leaders debate of the election campaign last night.

But it was a tight contest, with both leaders well prepared and polished, as they faced undecided voters in Western Sydney.

Anthony Albanese spoke of a country rallying in spite of difficult global conditions.

For Peter Dutton, it was about painting a dire picture of economic pain – and blaming Albanese for it.

Today, special correspondent for The Saturday Paper Jason Koutsoukis on the biggest moments of the first debate – and what it tells us about the next stage of the campaign.
