Tempers have flared and plans have been unravelled, in the final stretch of the election campaign. A union-led, anti-nuclear protest forced Peter Dutton to alter course on the south coast of New South Wales and Anthony Albanese faced a vocal heckler in Brisbane. The noisy interjections came amid ongoing debate over whether rising debt will cause budget strife for whoever wins the election.

00:04Marvelling at a magic mullet and hooking votes with ease...
00:08Well, give our baby your butt.
00:11Peter Dutton was as stunned as any to discover he was no longer the main event.
00:17Stay back, everybody. Way back, way back, way back.
00:21The trawl through Labour's most marginal electorate quickly turned toxic.
00:25Move the children away. This is a major hot zone.
00:28Trade union gatecrashers performed a reactor-side pantomime.
00:32Rugby league parents reacted.
00:34We're just checking the radiation levels.
00:36But the fallout couldn't be contained. A cacophony of chaos broke out.
00:42Police hit the phones. The Liberal leader hit the road.
00:46This will become a reality if Peter Dutton becomes Prime Minister.
00:51He abruptly headed inland to another Labour-held seat
00:54with a road funding promise and a finger of blame to be pointed.
00:58The teals and greens always pull all sorts of stunts.
01:02That's the plan.
01:03After a swing through an apartment block of the type his Housing Australia Future Fund will build...
01:08What are you going to do about the price of housing, Albo?
01:11Anthony Albanese got a touch of the testiness of final week campaigning.
01:16It's nothing personal, that's all.

01:27On economic management, he's more defensive.
01:30AAA credit ratings delivered by the Labour Party.
01:33We're very proud of that.
01:34The Prime Minister scoffed. His Treasurer didn't.
01:37We respect Standard & Poor's. We know that their opinions matter.
01:43But then dismissed the prospect of any downgrade.
01:46There would be no reason to lose the AAA if Labour is re-elected.
01:50Interest rates will always be cheaper under a coalition government.
01:52A global monitor raising even mild potential alarm
01:55about the management of rising debt
01:57raises the spectre of budget stresses neither side wants to dwell on.
02:02Not this late anyway in a campaign full of new spending commitments.
02:06They are future problems left until Sunday or beyond.
02:12Thank you. Thank you very much.
02:13So for now, with most policies out on display,
02:17it's fruit shops before fiscal fine-tuning...

02:34..in three puppy preferred pollen.
02:36...in four puppy cars.
02:37..in four.
