Morrison had found an effective way to play on the doubts about Shorten’s policy. Given a chance by moderator Sabra Lane to challenge his rival, he asked Shorten whether he could guarantee his changes would not push up rents and push down house prices.
Morrison stayed on the attack. “All I know, Bill, is that first homebuyers now have reached up to the highest level of the housing market in nine years. That’s what’s happened on our watch,” he said. Morrison protested but Shorten was talking over him. And the Opposition Leader had delivered the line he wanted. “Three more years of the same six years.”
Given the chance to ask two questions of Shorten, the Prime Minister chose superannuation and negative gearing. He also made sure to give viewers a guarantee that their private health insurance rebate would be safe under the Liberals.Shorten’s two questions also told the audience what he regarded as his strength – his spending. He asked Morrison to match Labor’s $2.3 billion outlay on cancer and its bigger subsidies for childcare.
When Morrison pointed out, again, that Shorten was dodging the detail about his own policies, the Labor leader argued it was a “crooked charlatan’s argument” to talk about the costs. He called it a dishonest question.
Ridiculous argument from scomo. Thought he would be happy for the market to work it out for itself.
Shorten won the debate because he enunciated Labor's detailed policies well & Morrison had nothing to offer but more of the same & we all know only too well how that sits with the majority of Australians.
Classic closed mind. You can never convince a village Muppet he is wrong.

No objectivity to be found in reading a paper that is loosing readers by the 1000s CroweDM Amazing,media says shorten won all three,the public say Morrison did win all three.I think the abc influence definitely filters through the media.
