In this inaugural podcast, Katharine Murphy is joined by Guardian Australia's political editor Lenore Taylor to digest the Pre-election Economic and Fiscal Outlook – or Pefo - an independent forecast detailing the state of the budget with predictions for debt, deficit, growth and unemployment.
Also up for discussion: Sunday night's leaders' debate - the first of three possible such meetings before election day. And the current state of the national opinion polls.
We also hear from Paula Matthewson, a blogger who also curates a weekly collection of political writing at No Crap App and is editor of election group blog, AusVotes 2013.
