Gillard wants second debate with Abbott

Prime Minister Julia Gillard says she is happy to have another leaders' debate with
Opposition Leader Tony Abbott.
In a television interview on Monday, Ms Gillard was asked if she was prepared to go
head-to-head with Mr Abbott for a second time.
The Seven Network asked both leaders to take part in a square-off on Sunday night at
6.30pm (AEST).
Ms Gillard said if Mr Abbott accepted the proposal "it's game on".
"Id be happy to be in it," she told the network.
"I want it to be about the economy, that's at the centre of this campaign."
When asked again if she would commit to the proposed time and date, Ms Gillard said:
"Let's see what Mr Abbott says, but if he is prepared to debate the economy, despite
Peter Costello saying he reckons Tony Abbott doesn't know much about it, then it's
on."
Seven said its offer has been relayed to the Liberal Party's federal director, Brian
Loughnane.
We think the voters would appreciate a lively exchange between the two leaders and
an opportunity to see more of their real personality," the network's CEO David
Leckie said in a statement.
