Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and Opposition Leader Tony Abbott will take part in a third leaders debate in western Sydney next week.
The people's forum to be hosted by Sky News will be held on August 28 at the Rooty Hill RSL Club.
"Fine, I'm happy to do that in Rooty Hill or where ever," Mr Rudd said in Geelong on Thursday.
"The Australian public want to see their leaders debate each other on the big questions of the future."
Mr Rudd wants it to be in the same format as Wednesday night's town-hall style forum at the Bronco Leagues Club in Brisbane.
This involved the leaders taking questions from an audience of 105 undecided voters selected by Galaxy Research.
"I'm happy to proceed on that basis," Mr Abbott said in Sydney.
Mr Rudd also confirmed he won't be taking part in a candidates forum in Brisbane later on Thursday, citing his responsibilities as a prime minister leading a campaign for the government's re-election.
"I have done a debate already with local candidates which went for three hours," he told reporters.
"Has Mr Abbott ever debated his local candidate? The answer to that question is no."
The Brisbane Times is hosting forums at the Brisbane Powerhouse on Thursday involving key candidates in each of the city's six most crucial seats, including Mr Rudd's electorate of Griffith.
