LABOR wants as many federal election debates as possible, its campaign spokeswoman Penny Wong says.
Senator Wong says the conditions of Sunday's debate are still being negotiated, but she says Labor wants more debates than the Liberals have offered.
"We are in the cart for as many debates as possible. Kevin Rudd's made that clear," Senator Wong told ABC radio in Melbourne.
"He offered to debate Tony Abbott, I think every week, in a number of debates between now and the election.
"Mr Abbott's been, I think, somewhat reluctant."

The Liberals want Sunday leaders' debate plus two people's forums - one in western Sydney and one in Brisbane.
Sunday's debate will be held at the National Press Club at 6.30pm (AEST).
Tony just CAN'T win here
REGARDLESS of policy, ideology, vision, credentials, etc. ...
He's CRAP at debating
Rudd will DEMOLISH him - at every TURN - on every OCCASION But he can't RUN AWAYThat'd look WORSE !
