Summary
Opposition Leader Peter Dutton delivered his strongest debate performance during the third election debate, though it was not enough to significantly impact his position as polls slide. Prime Minister Albanese effectively defended his lead, tackling issues like budget cuts and migration, while both leaders managed to find moments of bipartisanship. Dutton pledged to maintain nuclear power and collaborate with independents, while Albanese committed to improving bulk billing rates and housing affordability, with both making promises ahead of the election as pre-polling began.
