Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has confirmed he will participate alongside Opposition Leader Tony Abbott in a people's forum on Wednesday night in Brisbane.

The hour-long forum will be held at the Broncos Leagues Club and will see the leaders answer voter questions from 6:30pm.

Sky News political editor David Speers will moderate the event, which will be available for live broadcast by all media.

Mr Rudd said on Saturday he would prefer to debate Mr Abbott on a free-to-air network that all Australians have access to, but added "I will, of course, debate Mr Abbott whenever and wherever there is an opportunity".

An audience of 100 undecided voters, sourced independently by Galaxy Research, will attend the forum.

The first leaders' debate of the 2013 election campaign focused on the economic challenges facing the nation.

According to the ABC's policy comparison tool, Vote Compass, Mr Abbott won the debate.

Forty-one per cent of respondents who watched the debate gave it to Mr Abbott, compared to 35 per cent for Mr Rudd.

The two parties are continuing to negotiate over the possibility of other debates during the election campaign.
