Obviously both Labor and Liberal will have to agree on postponing the debate on Nine. Rescheduling however could be difficult due to Seven’s debate this Sunday which is branded as “the final showdown”. ---

Certainly a different take given they are unable to actually analyze the numbers as they don’t have the appropriate technology to do so. Will be interesting nonetheless. At least they’re producing coverage. ---

They just use the AEC numbers and will continue to do so. What I mean is they don’t have their own in house election analysis team and modeling that the other networks and Sky have. Antony Green for example uses his own program to do the numbers and Tom Connell does a decent job with using the matched booth analysis over Sky and they can aggregate those numbers using their own tech. 10 will just use the publicly available AEC data. ---
