This weekend Labor intensified its pitch to voters in a campaign launch that focussed on wages and jobs, and on Monday we published the latest Ipsos polling, which showed the election is still too close to call.

We’re joined today by Chief Political Correspondent David Crowe, who was in Brisbane on Sunday for the Labor Party campaign launch.

Our full weekly episode of Please Explain will drop, as usual, this Thursday afternoon.
