ood morning. Scott Morrison and Anthony Albanese will face off again in a third and final leaders’ debate tonight, just 10 days out from the election. Here’s hoping the pair will provide more clarity about their party’s policies, after the calamity of Sunday’s second debate.

Labor to pay high achieving school leavers to study teachingLabor has unveiled a new education scheme aimed at boosting teaching quality and increasing numbers of high-skilled educators as Anthony Albanese attempts to re-boot the campaign after another blunder at the end of last week.
