LIVE – Tuesday, October 30 at 12.30pm on Nine

Nine will present the first televised great debate between Treasurer Peter Costello and Shadow Treasurer Wayne Swan in a special edition of 60 Minutes live this Tuesday, October 30 at 12.30pm.

Nine’s commercial-free coverage of the debate will be presented by Ray Martin, and feature questioning of the participants by members of the Canberra Press Gallery.

The Network’s coverage of the debate will be followed by an analysis and the exclusive verdict of Nine’s Worm that night on A Current Affair. The Worm will provide the computer-generated verdict of 50 uncommitted voters who will judge the debate live in-studio at Nine.

There will also be a 60 Minutes exclusive phone poll which will be open throughout the afternoon so viewers can cast their own vote on the debate. The result of this poll will also be revealed on A Current Affair.

hi, i have just been watching your debate between Peter Costello and Wayne Swan and would just like to comment that your your worm is obviously bias as it does not coincide with the responses made by the treasurer or his shadow. how is it possible that it would increase to the positive side when Wayne Swan commented that we would have to work longer hours in order to receive tax cuts and before Peter Costello even speaks it is already on the decline. I'm not tooting for either side but come on if your going to have a visual verdict, at least make it realistic.
