How Twitter reacted to leaders' election debate

SOCIAL MEDIA REACTS TO THE #LEADERSDEBATE

Is someone counting how many times Turnbull says plan?

- @shanebazzi

Play drinking games with this #leadersdebate and you'll finish up in A&E with alcoholic poisoning

- @_HelenDale (adviser to Senator David Leyonhjelm)

There's never been a more exciting time to deliver a speech with highly choreographed, expansive hand gestures

- @Josheeharris

Bring back the worm!

- @ChipRolley

Imagine @ tonight's #leadersdebate agreement to lay down arms w/ bipartisan plan to evacuate people seeking #asylum from Nauru & PNG. Imagine

- @david_manne (refugee lawyer)

I love Mr Turnbull's battler millionaire dad's back story

- @GrahamPerrettMP (Labor MP)

Looks like Labor got to the Press Club early and got all the front row seats

- @EwenJonesMP (Liberal MP)

Shorten playing inside the V. Cautious and on@message. Turnbull waffling and patronising his way into second place

- @CateMc3273 (Australian of the Year finalist)

First #leadersdebate I've not watched in forever. Feel for the staff: all that work for something that doesn't change a vote

- @collinsadam (former adviser to Wayne Swan)

This debate is not sexy, not even foreplay. It's boreplay.

- @craigdsullivan

MEANWHILE...
