Labor is claiming the first victory of the election campaign with leader Bill Shorten emerging the winner with swinging voters at the people's forum debate with Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull.
But it hasn't been all good news for the opposition leader on Saturday morning, two new polls showing he still has work to do in the key areas of Queensland and western Sydney.
Mr Turnbull and Mr Shorten went head to head in Sydney's western suburbs on Friday in the first debate of the eight-week election campaign.
Of the 100 undecided local voters, who asked the questions, they gave the win to Mr Shorten 42 to 29, with another 29 voters walking out still undecided.
Some seemed disillusioned with the major parties, even after an hour-and-a-half of answers.
"I thought most of it was what we've heard already," Lee Elsdon said.
Aged pensioner John D'Silva agreed and would wait until closer to election day before deciding who to vote for.
Senior cabinet minister Christopher Pyne on Saturday echoed that sentiment.
"I think people are easing themselves into this campaign," he said on Sky News, but said the prime minister would win on July 2.
"Malcolm looks like a prime minister. He sounds like a prime minister because he knows exactly what he's talking about," he said.
"Bill is a scrapper and I don't think on election day people will be choosing your guy over Malcolm Turnbull."
Labor is continuing to target Mr Turnbull's wealth and links to corporate Australia, which got new headlines when Tony Abbott's former chief of staff, Peta Credlin, described him as "Mr Harbourside Mansion".
"He looked out of touch last night, didn't he. You had Malcolm Turnbull there at Windsor RSL defending the banks and real estate agents and defending cuts to schools and hospital," Labor frontbencher Jason Clare told Seven.
Mr Shorten returned to Queensland on Saturday where has been for every day of the campaign except for Friday.
But he won't welcome the Courier Mail's front page which shows he still hasn't cut through and could pick up only the two most marginal LNP seats in the state - Petrie and Capricornia.
The Daily Telegraph's poll of 500 voters in five western Sydney seat shows a swing back to Labor of 3.5 per cent, which is not enough.
"If these results are observed at the ballot box on 2 July then the Labor Party may pick up just one or two of the seats they need to win in NSW if they are to form government," Galaxy Research CEO David Briggs told the Telegraph.
"However, the poll confirms most of these seats are definitely in play and with seven weeks to go to election day there is still a long way to go."
Mr Shorten was to address a Your Child, Our Future rally in Brisbane, where he planned to again outline Labor's schools and teachers policies.
Mr Turnbull is expected to campaign in his hometown of Sydney.
