SKY News People’s Forum: Hunter

A SKY News People’s Forum: Hunter wil take place at 2pm AEST tomorrow, featuring Labor’s Dan Repacholi, The National Party’s James Thomson and One Nation’s Dale McNamara.

The one-hour forum will be hosted by AM Agenda host Laura Jayes and feature questions from voters.

The debate will be broadcast live on SKY News, live stream at SkyNews.com.au and across News Corp websites including news.com.au and The Daily Telegraph.

Live from the New South Wales Hunter Region, the candidates will face off in the critical mining-based electorate that could shape the overall result of the election.

The long-held Labor seat of Hunter has been represented by Joel Fitzgibbon for 26 years, preceded by his father and Labor member Eric Fitzgibbon for 12 years. The Labor Party’s vote shrunk 14 per cent at the 2019 Election, and the once safe Labor seat is now held on a narrow margin of just 3 per cent. With Joel Fitzgibbon retiring – the contest could be a close one.

Also airing this week is the Sky News People’s Forum: Kooyong on Thursday May 5 at 2.00pm AEST where Treasurer Josh Frydenberg will face off against Climate 200-backed Independent candidate Dr Monique Ryan.
