Peter Dunne: There haven't been a lot of outstanding moments in this campaign
The election season is well and truly under way, with the first debates of the campaign taking place last week.
The cost of living, the health system and education were among some of the major issues discussed on the campaign trail.
Former Minister and commentator Peter Dunne says the first leaders' debate fell 'flat' and it's still a very close race for both major parties.
