Julia Gillard has challenged Tony Abbott to a debate on the economy. The PM threw down the gauntlet just hours after announcing she'd showed the electorate 5 who she really is.

Meanwhile, Tony Abbott is promising 6 to inject 90 million dollars into tourism, including special grants for infrastructure 7.
David Jones says it will vigorously defend itself against a 37-million-dollar lawsuit 8. Junior publicist Kristy Fraser-Kirk claims she was sexually harassed 9 by the company’s former chief executive Mark McInnes. She says DJs did nothing when she told them about it.
