ELECTION 2025: AUSTRALIA DECIDES
Saturday, May 3 from 5.00pm AEST on Channel 9, 9Now and Stan
As the nation heads to the polls, Nine’s live coverage of the 2025 Federal Election – Election 2025: Australia Decides – will begin at 5.00pm AEST on Saturday, May 3, bringing Australians the most comprehensive, up-to-the-minute results and expert analysis, live on Channel 9, 9Now and Stan.
Hosted by Ally Langdon and Peter Overton, Election 2025: Australia Decides will deliver unrivalled access to the people, places and policies shaping this election.
With all eyes on how Australians respond to the most pressing national challenges – including the rising cost of living, housing affordability, healthcare access, climate policy and global economic uncertainty triggered by the US Government’s sweeping tariff regime – Nine will bring viewers the clearest, smartest coverage from across the country.
Live from the heart of the action, Sarah Abo will be with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s camp, while Karl Stefanovic will be embedded with Opposition Leader Peter Dutton’s camp.
Nine’s election headquarters will feature expert political insight from:
- Charles Croucher - 9News Political Editor
- Andrew Probyn - 9News National Affairs Editor
- Liz Daniels - 9News Politics Reporter
Adding further depth to the broadcast, Nine’s political panel will include voices from across the spectrum:
- Katy Gallagher - Minister for Finance, Women, the Public Service and Government Services
- Chris Bowen - Minister for Climate Change and Energy
- Bridget McKenzie - Leader of the Nationals in the Senate
- Christopher Pyne - Former Minister for Defence
Fiona Dear , Director of News and Current Affairs at Nine, said:
“There’s never been more at stake in a federal election. From the pressures Australians are feeling every day to the broader international forces shaping our economy, our coverage will go beyond the numbers to deliver real insight, live from both party HQs and our expert panel in studio. With the strongest political team in the country, Nine will lead the nation through this historic night.”
With live crosses, exclusive interviews and real-time results as they happen, Nine’s Election 2025: Australia Decides will be the destination for viewers seeking the most comprehensive, credible and compelling coverage of Australia’s next chapter.
And of course, in true Nine tradition, we’ll be giving departing politicians the send-off they deserve - the only question is: what will it be this time?
Election 2025: Australia Decides. Saturday, May 3 from 5.00pm. Live on Channel 9, 9Now and Stan.

Any self respecting contributor to a media forum would at least know who someone is when they’ve got 20+ years experience.

So Seven’s debate ranked third behind Nine and ABC’s debates.
Probably started too late and then ended too late for some.

Well, MediaSpy is overwhelmingly left-leaning so the results aren’t a surprise.

If anyone ever thinks that Seven and Nine are left wing then they’ve either underestimated or have no idea about the political skew of Media Spy.

Wonder if he will crack a smile, he always looks so glum, angry and depressing.

Seven’s election needle has been rather conservative this whole campaign. Tonight, it still is on “lean” to Labor being re-elected. So looks like nothing can move it to ‘likely’- not the latest polling (one had Labor on 54% 2PP) nor even their own jury of undecided voters last night favouring the PM 50% to 25%.

I was surprised that the guy from the West Australian on the Spotlight special last night wasn’t wearing his blue Liberal party T Shirt. He was in danger of disappearing up Dutton’s clacker at times
They explained last night that it’s because of the Teal vote decreasing in seat by seat polling.
On 7.30 on ABC TV tonight, Sarah Ferguson speaks to Anthony Albanese in a pre-recorded interview.
