"The chaos has to stop."
Mr Shorten, meanwhile, somewhat timidly sought permission to reply at times, telling the host that his opponent had "two bites of that cherry" as he appealed for a rebuttal. "On our franking credits proposal, we are not interested in affecting pensioners at all," he said, adding that the government’s position was "not sustainable".However, Mr Morrison hit back saying Labor’s franking credits police "does hit pensioners"."It is not true to say that pensioners will not get hit."
Mr Shorten was more specific, praising Mr Morrison's "deep conviction" as a politician, specifically on mental health."I think on mental health, Scott, you're doing a good job," Mr Shorten said.
The viewers !
Straight up crooks!
The audience of ‘undecided voters’ audibly cheered the first time Shorten made a statement. Difficult to believe they were credible, impartial and ‘undecided’.
Scomo
9NewsSyd I will not be voting as you have all made it very clear there is no point you choose who you want so send me the fine I can’t be bothered wasting my day off
ScottMorrisonMP Hands down 👊
Well Morrison answer the questions all Bill did is stumble his words which happens when you lie, and he didn't answer the question
Morrison. Don’t think the undecided people were really undecided...
Morrison

Amazing amount of very new twitter accounts with no profile pics replying to this to claim Morrison won.
ScoMo by a country mile.
Me. After the debate a friend told me that I should be Prime Minister.
It’s all rigged anyway! Doesn’t matter who we vote for, they swap and change leaders like they change their underwear. Besides we vote in grey lead so who know what goes on behind closed doors
Debate needs to include other party Leaders...preferences will make a difference this Election and Australians deserve to hear all parties policy positions.
Very close but ScoMo has the presence, Bill looks tired and seems to hope it will be all over soon. Bill is having trouble articulating his policies.
billshortenmp
The PM 👍
billshortenmp won it hands down. He actually discussed policies for starters.
Debate ... Joke more likely.... Shorts smerk was enough for me...
Hardly a debate!
Pretty obvious Scott Morrison won it. Shorten looked passive aggressive and shifty. Could not answer simple questions. LNP 3.30/1 with a preference deal with moron Clive Palmer. I think they will cross the line and win.
I think there’s a few tweet bots answering here - more about the politics of the news source than true representation
either your voting is rigged, or aussies are more brainwashed than i thought scott had nothing but don't vote labour all optics, no substance
9NewsQueensland Morrison for Sure!
We didnt watch it. Masterchef won on the night.
Morrison was ordinary but at least was able to provide evidence. Shorten just babbled his usual shallow warm and fuzzies without any substance or evidence to back up his statements. Both were disappointing, but Shorten gave more proof he’s just a slimy snake oil salesmen!
I’m assuming those who say Scott only saw the fluff. To complicated for their little minds. Shouty mcshouty is all you can understand.
Scott Morrison
9NewsSyd Undecided audience, crap, laughing at Bills stupid and irresponsible reply when Scott knew the car cost and Bill didn't. Had to be a stacked group.
Scott was much more composed, detailed and convincing.
Bill will surpise us all and maybe be what Australia needs billshortenmp
Scomo!
Sco Mo hands down!
9NewsMelb Australia has outgrown the liberal party they have become the idiots party
9NewsAdel Mr Shorten has made many promises but has failed to give any real details as to how he will pay for them without driving our country further into debt. I am concerned that Labor has a bad record in relation to financial management - Mr Shorten's statements reinforce my concerns.
How did Shorten win that? Did they invite the young Labour Party to sit and watch 🤷♂️🤦♂️
A stacked applauding audience every time Billy boy spoke. When he dropped his sheet I'm sure at least 12 of them fainted with joy 🤮
Bill Shorten was bluffing no costing for his services, Punishing the hard working Australians. He and his party with clean suit and empty promises. Labour people brought to the room of clowns for claps before Shorten starts talking. It is pathetic Debate.
Shorten
9NewsSyd Not the public
I can understand Bill shorten , & if Scott didn’t interrupt all the time, would have learnt more , Bill won 4 me, found Scott being a bully
Shorten for sure
Let’s say we got the picture .WHO is a ‘deep state candidate and who has desisted the deep state’,phenomenon.Clive Palmer perhaps came out as the winner in putting his neck on the line to save the NICKLE INDUSTRY,that sucks on the COAL ,NOT RENEWABLES.
Scomo won easy. Bill went off script continually and had a cheat sheet.
Shorten won, easily.
9NewsGoldCoast Morrison by far.
Bill Shorten.
Morrison.
9NewsSyd Morrison
Definitely Bill. You Vote For Scott You Could End Up With Clive or Pauline As PM !
I fell asleep 💤 Both are very boring ....,
Shorten.
None they think they are emperors and Australians are just their slaves!!! None of them are having real purposes. To fix the problems in Housing, poverty, employment, decrease the government spending and corruption
9NewsMelb Scott
Both are useless, but Shorten is the more favoured for me.
9NewsSyd Basil Zempilas
9NewsSyd Well it wasn’t Australia..!
9NewsMelb Don’t know. Was watching a television show on your network that was screening at the same time.
9NewsSyd Shorten had to have notes, Scott answered from his knowledge not relying from notes
Shorten wiped the floor with shouty Morrison
Who cares
9NewsAdel Didn’t watch the debate but for the first time in my life I’m probably voting Liberal. Something about Shorten doesn’t sit well and I can’t support that in any way, shape or form.
The PM ScottMorrisonMP DID, billy could not answer any questions just smirked, smiled & waffled bullshit for an hour. LiberalAus auspol2019
Auspol AusVotes2019
Shorten by a long way.
9NewsAdel I didn’t watch. Why did the audience select Shorten but twitter selects Morrison?
Arya Stark
Scumo should stick to shearing 'cause he was useless.
I’ve missed the group text from the Liberal campaign team to answer it seems lol, but I’ll go with Shorten by far. As the actual undecided voters who were there decided.
Hmm, so far 21,000 people have voted on a debate run on 7Two. Would 21,000 have watched the debate? Then been on Twitter? Then found this link to channel 9? Then voted? Seems unlikely. Just saying.
of course channel 9 would say that. it was clearly 2 to 1 in favour of Shorten for the undecided audience there.
Scott won the bully boy stakes
9NewsSyd both are pretty shit
ScottMorrisonMP
Who one the First 2019 debate?
Where is the Vote? Couldnt find me t but It say Bill ... Easily
shorten by 2 to 1
Scomo
A Como
Didn’t even know it was on!! Great publicity about it lol
Pity it these are the only options
Morrison
Scott won. Get people working for their money and not begging for their money like Dol bludgers.
Morrison.
9NewsSyd Mr Shorten. He has policies that were more appealing to tonight’s audience. I think he will win the election and the main challenge will come, successfully executing the policies in due course. It’s back to the drawing board for Mr Morrison, before the next debate.
Most definitely ScottMorrisonMP !! BillShorten just doesn’t appear trustworthy or that knowledgeable Leadersdebate
I'll tell you who lost: the sheeple
9NewsQueensland Me. Because I didn’t watch it.
The Reason Party formerly known as the Sex Party won.
9NewsSyd Morrison easy !!!! Shorten has nothing 😂
I just can’t believe morons are willing to give up negative gearing & 50% CGT discount to vote shorthead in, in other words those people believe never in the future they or next generation will never benefit from these discounts useyourbrain
9NewsMelb The PM
9NewsMelb ScMo!
9NewsAdel Shorten needs elocution lessons before he could become Prime Minister! His speech defects are annoying, he would be an embarrassment on the world stage. AUSVote19
9NewsMelb Bill is a pure disaster. So funny.
Because the people are hoping for a double KO, DogsBreakfast
ScoMo✔️✔️✔️winner elect
9NewsQueensland Scott easy!
9NewsMelb Morrison by the length of the Flemington straight
our leaders work for us, not for the Russian mafia NRA the wealthy n the Trumps...
Shorten by a mile. CoalMo wanted to wear his cap and sip beers.
Scott
Scomo
Morrison wins debate 65% to 35% according to Nine network. Take that Seven! 2:1 for Shorten sounds like Q&A audience. PMOnAir RealMarkLatham
Morrison easy!
Australia is the big loser.
Bills got problems with those polly ticks, he’s got a bad case at least there not on his face like hansons
Channel 9 running a poll on a debate held on Channel 7. What the hell has happened to the world. 7news audience had the debate for Shorten while this poll has it for Morrison. What a stinker! Lol auspol
I have already made up my mind few months back, do didn’t watch
Bill shorten!!! Of course !!!
