That’s a wrap – thank you for reading the Australian Financial Review’s blog coverage of the leaders’ debate. Some of the highlights include:

• Peter Dutton confirms there will be no cuts to health care if the Coalition wins the May 3 election. He says there will be no changes to work-from-home rules for public servants.
• Anthony Albanese dismisses Peter Dutton’s plan to cut the fuel excise from 50.8 cents a litre to 25.4 cents for one year, saying it is not a meaningful cost-of-living measure because it will “disappear” and that it is from the “Scott Morrison playbook”.
• Dutton says energy bills have gone up by $1200 under Labor while promising to bring down gas prices, but the prime minister had a simple retort: “The only gas policy that the Coalition has is the gaslighting of the Australian public.”
