What is the point of an extra host introducing the next question. Riley has asked enough questions in his journalism career to be able to move on to the next question himself.
They are sitting beside each yet the bizarre spilt screen Seven has it’s like they are in different studios.

The leaders’ debate set is terrible, very blurry and lots of moving pieces!

The timing of the graphics appearing on the screen seem to be a bit out of sync as they have been displayed too early or they disappear suddenly.
Edit: Also the “Countdown” is seeming quite pointless currently as either person is allowed to continue speaking. Wonder how many questions they’ll be able to squeeze in the short limited time left.

As does every state, with arguably more marginals in Queensland and Victoria.
Looks every bit as bad as expected coming from 7 Perth.

Queensland is getting the News Corp debate.
The format was terrible - every time things got slightly ‘interesting’, Basil popped up to introduce the next question.
Not to mention they stuffed up the timing so badly that Mark had to ask an additional question after the closing statements were made in order to pad until the TOTH

Aside from the fact the debate wasn’t very good, the backdrop quality on the tighter shots also looked absolutely horrendous in HD - especially the bits with Scott Morrison which show why chroma key and glasses don’t mix!

A few people (mostly residents of Sydney it appears) on Twitter referring to the host of the debate as ‘that bloke’, obviously having no idea who he is.

Caps from the Seven replay in HD:
The Sky News replay dropped the opener and went straight to Basil’s introduction. It also didn’t have the closer where Basil mentions Seven News Perth next / The Latest in the evening, using this graphic to open and close:

Ummm they must have not watched Weekend Sunrise because Basil is the co-host.

Whole thing poorly executed. Do it ANYWHERE but a green screen studio 
And maybe get more than 5 rows of audience too…
How lifeless

Not too rusted on if they’re changing votes due to that.
Andrew has suffered a real loss of profile since then.
The technical side of things conspired against that broadcast, hardly his fault.
