Last night, Anthony Albanese and Peter Dutton went head-to-head in the second leaders’ debate of the campaign.

The difference between the two leaders’ visions for the country was stark. Albanese talked about his “optimism” for the future, while Dutton asked voters to reflect on whether they are better off now than they were three years ago, suggesting that most people are not.

But Albanese and Dutton were united on one thing: neither leader really landed a blow – and neither leader won the night.

Today, 7am co-host Daniel James on the biggest moments from the debate – from energy, to housing, to diplomacy and defence – and why Dutton has had to admit another mistake.
