| Turnbull and Shorten go head-to-head | Good morning, are you excited for the first leaders' debate tonight?
To help you stay on top of the election news, we're sending our politics subscribers morning and afternoon wraps of what's happening on the campaign trail.
Here's what you need to know this morning: - Malcolm Turnbull and Bill Shorten will face the people at a forum in Western Sydney tonight. It will be the first time they've debated outside Parliament... and undecided voters will be asking the questions, so there shouldn't be any Dorothy Dixers
- The first Vote Compass results are in and voters are saying that industrial relations is at the bottom of the pile of what matters most to them. Haven't given Vote Compass a go? Do it, seriously, there's no easier way to see how your politics match up with the major parties. Follow this link to get started
- Labor's national executive has selected a new candidate for the seat of Fremantle. But the Maritime Union says Labor should be ashamed of its decision to disendorse Chris Brown, who failed to advise the party of prior convictions he received in the 1980s
Here's what's happening today: - South Australian Senator Bob Day's challenge against the new Senate voting reforms will be back before the High Court, with a judgment expected at 10:00am AEST
- Malcolm Turnbull is in Adelaide to announce funding for a rail line to reach Flinders University in the city's southern suburbs
- Tony Abbott is campaigning with George Christensen at a sugar cane farm near Mackay in Queensland
- Malcolm Turnbull and Bill Shorten will take part in the first leaders' debate at the Windsor RSL in Western Sydney at 7:00pm AEST
Did you miss 7.30 last night?
If so, you should catch up on reporter Andy Park's feature about why a huge number of youth votes — about 350,000 — will not be cast in 2016.
