#qanda Shades of red ties tonight - pink and purple.

Albo disagrees, Labor is a party of vision but also emphasis that Vision is the first element of his platform. #qanda

Investment is the key to long term growth. Simple cuts are not the answer #qanda

Tonight's #qanda will be about two candidates supporting the same policies and ideas but saying them in a different, prettier way #QandA

It feels like WA is another country, Perth has fallen behind the rest of the country in terms of being modern #qanda

The WA philosophy of having absolute shedloads of money. That's a good philosophy. #qanda

Mining tax questions in WA is like questions about corn subsidies in Iowa. #qanda

This might be the first civilised conversation in Australian politics in the last 5 years. #qanda
— Grant Buse (@grant_buse) September 30, 2013
People get weirded out when a debate is civil, and speaks to issues, which says something awful about Australian politics. #qanda

Albo's ideas for the future are impressive. If only success in politics was about vision and not tactics and media ownership #qanda
— Stephanie Rogers (@skweego) September 30, 2013
ALP's problems were based on personalities not policy. This ballot is a good thing. #qanda

So it's settled. It is infrastructure vs minorities. #qanda #laborpointofdifference

If you're a Labor Party member then I'd imagine its like choosing between two chocolate cakes. If you're a Lib you're happy to diet. #qanda

Infrastructure or empowerment, I know which I'd vote for #qanda

‘My particular strength is turning minorities into majorities’ good line from Shorten. #qanda

Shorten taking credit for NDIS #QandA
— Tim (@shaayde) September 30, 2013
Albo = infrastructure aus shorten = NDIS #bigdifference #qanda

Why is Tony Jones asking about what will happen in the event of future internal ALP leadership tensions? Let it go mate. #QandA
— Cath Bowtell (@CathBowtell) September 30, 2013
Shorten is all platitudes and soothing tones. Albo's a little gruff but that's what makes him the real deal #qanda
— Marquis (@MarquisO) September 30, 2013
Also adds a lot of credibility to the leader when 40,000+ people had a chance to vote for you #qanda
— Stephen (@TheAviator1992) September 30, 2013
Lovely question... "Do you think there could be a Majority Party full of Minorities?" #Quota Athletes, Religious Leaders, etc. #qanda

"Merit does not belong just to white men" says Bill Shorten #qanda

#qanda Of course it should be merit - but if you don't have enough diversity, you're not finding all the merit!
— John O'Hagan (@johnmohagan) September 30, 2013
Great show show of bipartisanship on #MarriageEquality by both Shorten & Albo. Both support ending discrimination for all Australians #qanda

Woman with a slight English accent asks how aspirants will further the republic debate #qanda

Welcome the consensus of support for an Australian republic to represent modern Australia on #qanda from ALP leader candidates tonight
— David Morris (@dm_aus) September 30, 2013
If we become a republic Prince Harry won't visit us anymore. End of argument. #qanda
— Joe Hildebrand (@Joe_Hildebrand) September 30, 2013
Great discussion on #qanda with Shorten & Albo. Their respective comments on immigration reflect the Melb/Sydney divide on the issue.
— Rachel Dapiran (@rdapiran) September 30, 2013
Bill and Albo will at least face a public audience - the cobwebs keep gathering on Tony Abbott's #qanda name-tag
— Ed Husic (@edhusicMP) September 30, 2013
Both Albo and Shorten acquitted themselves well tonight, but let's face it: they're no Hawke and Keating. #qanda
— Michael Byrnes (@MichaelByrnes) September 30, 2013
I think Shorten and Albo should timeshare the leadership #qanda
