The Great Debate between Prime Minister Gillard & the Mad Monk is on tomorrow night (Sunday night).

It will be on TV at:

6pm on the ABC
6:30pm on Channel Nine (supposedly with the worm)
7:30pm on Channel Seven
10:45pm on Channel Ten

and on Sky News a "warm up" show from 3:30pm, The Debate at 6pm, The Verdict at 7pm and replays of the Debate at 9pm & 11pm.

I'm not sure I'll bother to watch.
Campaigns like this bring out the "Don't vote, it only encourages them!" feeling in me.
No one is presenting much policy of substance, and each side is claiming the other is lying - what a choice!

I'm with you on this one Psyber ...

ZZZZZ...

I think the Laberals won.

Was it really necessary to have a women's versus men's 'indicator/worm' whatever they call it??

Actually, I saw a bit of it and the women's versus men's pattern of conversion and diversion in the emotional response was the most interesting part of it.
I spent a bit of time looking at where men and women responded similarly, and where they diverged.
Without that to study I'd have moved on more quickly.

Anyone else almost drown in the sea of rhetoric?

Yep the three minutes I saw whilst waiting for the 7pm news to start was pure torture. I am a keen observer of politics but I find these debates just plain boring.

watched it on ABC

nothing exciting came of it, except Abbott cant put 2 words together

Mungo MacCallum on the Debate:

Of course the voters are the real losers. Never has the prime ministership of Australia been contested by such a pair of abject, craven, weak-kneed, whey-faced, chicken-hearted, lily-livered, jelly-bellied milksops. And what a lead up to the so-called Great Debate: the Wimp versus the Wuss.

Q&A held a de facto debate last night.

In future, they should just sit both leaders either side of Tony Jones.

And proceed...

Yes, agreed.

I have to say Christine Milne put me right off.

Penny Wong copped it.

But she was on a hiding to nothing.

Lesbian Climate Change Minister toeing the party line and defending the 'Citizen's Assembly' and anti-gay marriage stance?

Good luck!
