Australian Politics Weekly podcast: Half-time in the election campaign

As decision day draws closer Kevin Rudd takes a hit in the polls while Tony Abbott – despite not releasing details of how his government would pay for its spending – gains confidence.

The panel dissects the Q&A performance of Joe Hockey and Chris Bowen, and previews the 'people's forum' leaders' debate in Brisbane.

Later in the podcast, blogger and political commentator Greg Jericho puts the economics debate under the microscope. Greg gives his thoughts on the election coverage so far and responds to your #askgrogs Twitter questions.
