With only ten days to go until the New South Wales state election the two political leaders are set to go head-to-head in another debate today.

Premier Kristina Keneally and Opposition Leader Barry O'Farrell will take part in a People's Forum style debate hosted by Sky News and the Daily Telegraph at the Campbelltown Catholic Club.

It comes a day after Labor's "roadmap" for coal and coal seam gas development was derided by the Coalition and the Greens as a belated grab for votes.

The plan promises mining exclusion zones bans on exploration in waterways near national parks and a prohibition on the use of some chemicals used in the gas extraction process.

The odds on the coalition winning the state election shortened to $1.01 yesterday against Labor at $16.
