Good evening and welcome to our coverage of the leader’s debate for the Victorian election. The premier, Daniel Andrews, and the opposition leader, Matthew Guy, are set to go head-to-head at the Frankston arts centre at 8pm, on a debate moderated by Sky News political editor David Speers.

The debate is being hosted by and broadcast on Sky News and is set to run for an hour. People have been filing in to the audience for the past two hours, walking past this diverse buffet of protesters – a bevy of lobsters, reminding voters of that time Guy went to a fundraiser at a lobster restaurant that was also attended by a man with alleged but strenuously denied mafia ties, and one solitary and frankly terrifying lamb, for Frankston Liberal candidate and local senior sergeant Michael Lamb.

So buckle in, tuck in your seafood bib or political apron of choice, and let’s get under way.
