“There has never been a prime minister who is so shy about having a debate,” he told the National Press Club in January. The panel put forward for the Nine debate includes 60 Minutes presenter Sarah Abo, Nine political editor Chris Uhlmann and 2GB host Deb Knight.“The prime minister has agreed to a Nine-hosted debate on May 8,” he said. “Mr Albanese said earlier this year that he would be prepared to debate the Prime Minister ‘anywhere’ so we look forward to the debate taking place.
