Albanese v Dutton: The second leaders’ debate

<p>Last night, Anthony Albanese and Peter Dutton went head-to-head in the second leaders&rsquo; debate of the campaign.</p> <p>The difference between the two leaders&rsquo; visions for the country was stark. Albanese talked about his &ldquo;optimism&rdquo; 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.</p> <p>But Albanese and Dutton were united on one thing: neither leader really landed a blow &ndash; and neither leader won the night.</p> <p>Today, <em>7am </em>co-host Daniel James on the biggest moments from the debate &ndash; from energy, to housing, to diplomacy and defence &ndash; and why Dutton has had to admit another mistake.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>If you enjoy <em>7am</em>, the best way you can support us is by making a contribution at <a href="http://7ampodcast.com.au/support">7ampodcast.com.au/support</a>.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Socials:</strong><strong> </strong>Stay in touch with us on <a href="http://www.instagram.com/7ampodcast">Instagram</a></p> <p><strong>Guest:</strong> Writer and co-host of <em>7am</em>, Daniel James</p> <p><strong>Photo:&nbsp;</strong>AAP Image/Dan Himbrechts, Mick Tsikas</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
