The leaders of Australia's two main political parties will hold an online debate for the first time in a national election campaign ahead of a July 2 vote, debate sponsors Facebook and Rupert Murdoch's News Corp said on Tuesday. The ruling Liberal-National coalition and opposition Labor Party have been running neck-and-neck in recent opinion polls in what had originally been seen as an unloseable election for Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull's popularity waning. Turnbull's conservative coalition has been focusing on creating jobs and growth through moves such as cutting the corporate tax rate but his personal popularity has been waning.
