People’s Forum: Dominic Perrottet / Chris Minns

SKY News Australia Chief News Anchor Kieran Gilbert will moderate a People’s Forum ahead of the NSW state election.

Premier Dominic Perrottet has agreed to appear with Opposition Leader Chris Minns in key battleground Western Sydney with 100 undecided voters selected by Q&A Market Research posing questions.

Kieran Gilbert said: “This final debate has the potential to truly shift the dial for undecided voters, giving them the power to speak directly to both leaders and hold them to account. Given its unscripted and unpredictable nature, the People’s Forum will not only give both leaders the best platform to debate but also give New South Wales voters tuning in a chance to see both men put forward their most convincing elevator pitch one last time.”

Paul Whittaker, Chief Executive Officer of SKY News Australia said: “Under Premier Dominic Perrottet the NSW Liberal Coalition government is hoping for a record-equalling fourth elected term in office, a performance not achieved by the Coalition since Sir Robert Askin led the Liberal Coalition to four victories between 1965 and 1973. While a strong performance from Opposition Leader Chris Minns could set the scene for a Labor government in every state, except for Tasmania, edging the party closer to its 2007 record where it held government nationally, across every state and territory.

“This People’s Forum will be the last and most important debate of the State Election and will test the fortitude of both leaders as they compete under pressure to win the hearts and minds of undecided voters.”
