Nine has landed the second Leader’s Debate between PM Scott Morrison and Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese for 8:30pm Sunday May 8.
Sarah Abo from 60 Minutes will moderate the event with questions from Nine political editor Chris Uhlmann, The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald chief political correspondent David Crowe and Nine radio host Deb Knight.
Nine director of news and current affairs Darren Wick said, “They are three of the most experienced journos in the country, Deb had a long stint in the press gallery, she hears talkback every day, she hears people’s pain points in terms of hip-pocket and economic issues.
“And in Chris and David we have two of the most experienced gallery journos in Australia. No one has any agendas coming into it, and neither leader has made any requests. Nothing is off the table.
“People want to know where each of the parties stand and where the leader stand, they want to see the leaders tested.”
Seven has also been jockeying for a debate with Mark Riley as moderator while ABC hopes David Speers will land a third debate.
Sunday May 8 is also Mother’s Day.
