Sydney’s No.1 Breakfast host, Ben Fordham, will host the first Leaders’ Debate between Premier, Dominic Perrottet and Opposition Leader, Chris Minns, on 2GB this Thursday, 9th February. 

The leaders will go head-to-head live in the 2GB studio from 7am, debating the biggest issues facing the people of New South Wales, before they head to the polls on Saturday, 25th March. 

2GB Breakfast host, Ben Fordham, said: “This is the first opportunity to hear these two go head to head. It’s going to be live and unscripted and anything could happen. Each leader has been told to come armed with three questions they want answered from their opposite number. I won’t know what those questions are in advance of the live debate. With the election so close, they’ll both be dead keen to score an early victory.”

Luke Davis, 2GB Content Manager, said: “The upcoming state election is one of the most significant in recent history for the people of New South Wales, so it’s only fitting that the first public debate takes place on Sydney’s No.1 Breakfast show. With Ben Fordham moderating the debate, we can be assured it will be must-listen radio!”

You can listen live to the first NSW Leaders’ Debate on Thursday, 9th February from 7am on 2GB 873AM, streaming via the 2GB app, or watch live at 2gb.com.
