Shorten seeks Turnbull by-elections debate

The federal Labor leader has thrown out a challenge to the prime minister to debate health care ahead of five by-elections.

Bill Shorten has challenged Malcolm Turnbull to a public debate on health in the final week of by-election campaigning.

The Labor leader told reporters in the Tasmanian seat of Braddon on Monday he would like to debate the prime minister, ahead of five by-elections being held on July 28.

"How about we get him out of his ivory tower and invitation-only events and have a debate on health care in Braddon next week?" Mr Shorten said.
