Federal Election 2025 LIVE: Dutton, Albanese Go Head-To-Head in Second Leaders’ Debate | Australian Elections | CNBC TV18
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Liberal opposition leader Peter Dutton participate in a televised debate ahead of a general election on May 3
Anthony Albanese was judged the winner of the first leaders’ debate, a Sky News-hosted people’s forum in which a crowd of average voters posed questions on topics ranging from housing and the fuel excise to GP costs and the Gaza conflict.
Leaders’ debates are a feature of each campaign, billed – in particular by the host broadcaster – as make-or-break moments capable of turning the campaign. But campaign veterans have differing opinions as to how decisive the set-piece events actually are.

Tonight’s contest occurs as voters are likely to turn away from news coverage and switch into holiday mode, coming as it does just one day before the Easter long weekend that ends the day before early voting opens on April 22.
