Kevin Rudd will visit Melbourne for the first time of the 2013 campaign, while Tony Abbott will takes his show to the battleground state of Queensland on Friday.
The prime minister will begin Friday in the Victorian capital, where Labor is hoping to save marginal seats Corangamite, Deakin and La Trobe, and win back the Greens-held seat of Melbourne.
The opposition leader will be in Brisbane, a day after Mr Rudd unveiled former Queensland premier Peter Beattie as his prize recruit for the Liberal seat of Forde.
The debate over the first debate of the campaign has continued - but the major parties are on Friday expected to finalise details for this Sunday evening at the National Press Club in Canberra.
Former Liberal prime minister John Howard will continue his intervention in the campaign, visiting the NSW seats of Dobell and Robertson with Liberal senator Arthur Sinodinos.
Mr Abbott has already dropped in on Dobell, held by controversial former ALP member turned independent MP Craig Thomson on a margin of 5.1 per cent, which Liberal candidate Karen McNamara is tipped to win.
