From what I heard, she wants to answer questions after him.
Suppose better chance to ridicule him without a chance for reply, might work in her favour, unfortunately.
How arrogant is this woman???
....
How rude - hopefully this backfires on her...

The Australian also carried the same report, but added that teachers would first receive appropriate education via ASIC.I loved this headline in the Brisbane Courier-Mail this morning;
Labor to Teach Financial Skills
If she actually does that, she will be very foolish imo.How arrogant is this woman???
Abbott gave her the opportunity to debate the economy for half an hour last night. She didn't turn up. Now she is planning to gatecrash Abbott's time at the forum tonight to demand a debate.
Agree. It's extremely patronising, almost insulting.Her constant arm touching freaks me out a little bit as well.
If she actually does that, she will be very foolish imo.
They have both behaved very childishly about this. It's quite incredible that the petty arguments about when to have what debates and/or forums have absorbed most of the air time for the last week!
I will be there at 6 o'clock tonight waiting to debate Mr Abbott on the economy," she told reporters.
Mr Abbott showed no signs of succumbing to the pressure.
"I'm going to face up to the people of Queensland for a full hour and I'm not going to cut down on their time to do something that we should have done yesterday," Mr Abbott told reporters in Gladstone...
On Tuesday night, Mr Abbott went to ABC TV studios after offering Ms Gillard a televised 30-minute debate. She ignored the challenge.
Dear Michael Pascoe,
You have once again hit the nail on the head.
Thank you

The people's forum tonight was a non-event. It was exceedingly boring. Abbott tried a bit harder than Gillard to answer the questions, but we learned nothing new.
No questions really put them on the spot and those that tried received long boring non-answers. How the audience kept awake during Gillard's session is beyond me. It was hard yakka watching it, but with the help of a few glasses I persevered.
Out of 200 people in the audience, Gillard received 85 votes to Abbott 78. So the 40 are either Green voters and those who still hve not made up their minds.
Mr Mathieson, a former hairdresser and hair products salesman, was employed by Mr Dadon as a property consultant last year despite having no property experience.
The appointment also followed Ms Gillard and Mr Mathieson leading a delegation of Australian MPs to Israel as part of the first Australia-Israel Leadership Forum, founded by Mr Dadon. The appointment sparked controversy on two fronts: the possibility of special planning treatment for Mr Dadon's inner-city apartment projects by the Brumby government, and concern over Ms Gillard for perceived uncritical support of Israel.
Last year Planning Minister Justin Madden contentiously called in and approved a Ubertas Group apartment project at 568 St Kilda Road, before Mr Mathieson worked for the group.
As part of the approval the government relaxed long-standing rules requiring setback from the adjoining lane. The government has also approved Ubertas projects at 505 St Kilda Road and at 350 Williams Street.
One senior Jewish business figure said Mr Mathieson faced a career change if Labor won. ''She [Ms Gillard] needs to get him another job, and I'll be very surprised if she doesn't.''
People are just sick of both leaders playing it safe. Gillard offered nothing new, except for a focus on positives in the opening monolgue which is a little different to the way the campaign has been rolled out. Abbott keeps playing it safe (the "New Abbott") so his role as offical Liberal Headkicker of the past 15 years is kept out of public view.Out of 200 people in the audience, Gillard received 85 votes to Abbott 78. So the 40 are either Green voters and those who still hve not made up their minds.
Yes it all was a bit boring.
There always will be whilst complete headcases like Dean Mighell hold positions of power within militant unions. The guy makes Mark Latham look sensible and calm.Whether the Labor Party win or lose this election there will be turmoil amongst the unions and Labor Party factions with lots of 'blood left on the floor.

Policies from the major parties on our key election issues were changing right up to the final days, and we wanted to have the most accurate scorecards we can. As a result, the scorecards have just been finalised which unfortunately means there wasn't enough time to have them printed and delivered to all our volunteers, especially those in regional areas.
I just got an email from GetUp asking me to join their Adopt-a-Booth campaign. The idea is that since 10% of voters make up their mind as they enter the booth, GetUp wants volunteers to stand around and inform voters of where all the major parties stand on 14 key issues. Here is the scorecard they want people to hand out:
