From what I understand, there will be around 70 undecided voters in the ‘audience’ of this debate. They aren’t going to fit in the news studio. Does anyone know where this will be held?

Didn’t realize I’m going to be watching a boxing title fight tonight! Wonder how many rounds it’ll go for…

Why is it being held in Perth anyway?
The leaders have a minute to answer the questions … and Mark Riley’s first question for Scott Morrison dragged on for about a minute.
The picture quality on 7TWO via Prime7 Canberra is crap. The 7TWO livestream on the 7Plus app on the Fetch box is very slightly better.

All I can think about is how much better it would look from STW9’s studio!

Don’t like the decision to give the leaders head on camera angles. The two of them keep staring down the barrel delivering a soundbite pitch to the viewers.
Would rather have seen them do a quasi ‘Question Time’ set up. The two leaders with a desk in between, and they get up and have a go directly at their opponents head on.
Way more entertaining than an hour of spruiking.
