Good evening, and welcome to our live coverage of the first leaders debate of the Queensland election.
Tonight, Labor Premier Steven Miles faces off against his challenger, the LNP’s David Crisafulli. The pair will field questions from a media panel, before they get to ask questions of each other.
Our editor, Sean Parnell, will be on this media panel, joined by 9News state political reporter Tim Arvier and 4BC’s Sofie Formica, and moderated by Melissa Downes.
Back at the Brisbane Times office, I’m joined by reporter Felicity Caldwell who will be sharing blow-by-blow updates as the debate progresses. You will also be able to watch the debate live on this page.
Stick around, it’ll be kicking off at 7.30pm.
