Treasurer Chris Bowen has risked a voter backlash on the eve of an election by placing a new levy on deposits to plug his budget hole.

Slug (Oz): BANK customers will pay a levy on all deposits worth up to $250,000 in a Labor move that aims to prepare for future economic shocks but exposes Kevin Rudd to attacks for increasing the burden on consumers.

Fight (AFR): Senior banking figures indicated they would oppose the levy and depict it as a tax on bank depositors.

NSW Inc (SMH): Former senior Labor ministers Michael Costa, Tony Kelly and Joe Tripodi are to be embroiled in a fresh investigation by the Independent Commission Against Corruption, which has launched another fully-fledged graft inquiry into the former minister Eddie Obeid.

Blowout (Oz): KEVIN Rudd's vow to send asylum-seekers to Papua New Guinea will come at a headline cost of $1 billion in the government's budget update today, but the price tag will be cut by $400 million through savings on reduced onshore processing.

Family business: Kevin Rudd used to micro manage everything, but he's learned from his mistakes. Now he gets family members to do it for him. Capital Circle can reveal Nicholas Rudd is completing an "audit" of Labor's social media operations. One of those whose work he'll review is the talented Erin Swan, daughter of ex-treasurer Wayne. Sources say there's been no visible tension but it's all a bit awkward. It's unclear what special experience the 24-year-old lawyer has in the field of social media, other than being a Rudd. His old man was, of course, an early Twitter adopter and has 1.3 million followers to Tony Abbott's 147,000. Rudd's youngest son Marcus is also working on the campaign in the digital campaigning unit, while daughter Jess is providing informal advice.

Just watched kevvy getting a soft run from Mark Riley on CH7s Today tonight... bet Abbott would never be given such an easy run.

Lies go unchallenged, ad hom and character assassination allowed.

Poor show Mark, how about growing a backbone when interviewing the Left?

I would have nailed the little fcuker.

Labor MPs are openly discussing whether or not they'd have been better sticking to Julia Gillard.
