SKY News: People’s Forum

David Speers will moderate as Scott Morrison & Bill Shorten face 100 undecided voters in Brissy.

SKY News will broadcast a People’s Forum as the Prime Minister and Opposition Leader face voters’ questions from 100 undecided voters.

David Speers will moderate the event, held jointly by The Courier-Mail in Brisbane on Friday May 3.

“If you’ve found the campaign boring so far, tune into this forum. The leaders can’t hide or dodge. They’ll have to convince a room of undecided voters why they deserve to be Prime Minister. These forums have been pivotal in recent election campaigns and give everyone a fascinating look at who’s really up to the job,” said David Speers.

Sam Weir, Editor, The Courier-Mail said: “Queensland is the key battleground of this election and, with so many marginal seats at stake, who holds power from May 18 will be decided by voters in the Sunshine State.

“As Queensland’s most influential media brand, The Courier-Mail is delighted to partner with SKY News to host the People’s Forum in Brisbane on May 3. It’s an essential opportunity for voters from all around Queensland to put our political leaders to the test on the issues that really matter to their lives.”

Paul Whittaker, SKY News Chief Executive said: “It’s appropriate that the most highly anticipated debate of this campaign is being held in Brisbane where the Coalition is under intense pressure to hold 21 of the 30 federal parliamentary seats up for grabs at next month’s election. Queensland’s knife-edge marginal seats will play a pivotal role in the election outcome with preferences from minority parties likely to prove crucial in deciding the final results.

The SKY News/The Courier-Mail People’s Forum will provide undecided voters with a unique opportunity to question the leaders on their policies and vision for the country just two weeks out from Australians going to the polls. Candid, direct and Live our People’s Forum debate will test the political mettle and authenticity of both leaders who will be asked to address the concerns of the people.”
