The first question from the studio audience was directed at Mr Shorten and surrounded Labor's pledge to end franking credits.The questioner wanted to know what impact Labor's policy would have on pensioners, tapping into a common Coalition attack on the Opposition.
The Opposition Leader said the change to the policy would allow a future Labor government to offer greater support for pensioner dental care.Another audience member wanted to know what Mr Morrison thought of businessman Clive Palmer, whose United Australia Party is looming large over the election. Mr Morrison told the debate Mr Palmer should pay workers for lost entitlements from the collapse of his Queensland nickel refinery in Townsville.
The Opposition Leader seized on that, insisting the deal with Mr Palmer would haunt Mr Morrison if the Coalition retained government.
No mention of the crowd vote before the colourful descriptions?
Why is there no mention in your report that Bill won the debate 25 to Scott 12 with 11 undecided? This would indicate a bias on the side of to report political stories accurately - you are looking more like a Murdoch rag! auspol AusVotes2019 FakeNews
What's their Clearance rating in the Appropriate fields? Mines High and I recommend They are briefed Appropriately.
Never saw a spark or a fly just heard a lisp from wee bill under pressure. Some costings please?
Labor cant manage our money......the debate is a farce. Unions running Australia has always bought disaster and taxes.
Shorten far more convincing; knew his policies and was very calm. Morrison justs gets shouty when pressured and never answers a question properly.
Cool
