Before a crucial federal election, Sky News’ election coverage begins with the four contested seats in Saturday’s by-elections in NSW.
Sky News Australia will kick off its 2022 election coverage with the Super Saturday NSW By-Elections, which are taking place this Saturday 12 February.
As punters place their votes for the hotly contested seats of Bega, Monaro, Strathfield and Willoughby, Sky News will bring viewers the most comprehensive coverage and analysis in what is set to be one of the most complicated elections in the state’s history.
Sky News Chief Anchor Kieran Gilbert said:
“The results in these seats not only represent the first real litmus test of new NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet’s leadership, but they also have federal implications for Scott Morrison and Anthony Albanese. The overlapping electorates of Reid, Eden-Monaro and Gilmore are all critical contests federally – so both Leaders will be keenly anticipating the Super Saturday outcome ahead of the election.”
Rolling coverage will begin from 6.00pm AEDT, led by Chief News Anchor Kieran Gilbert, Political Editor Andrew Clennell, with panelists NSW Treasurer Matt Kean, Shadow NSW Housing Minister Rose Jackson, former NSW Nationals leader John Barilaro and Sky News analyst Graham Richardson.
Across the four seats Sky News Reporters Trudy McIntosh will be live from Bega, Jonathan Lea in Monaro, Andrea Crothers in Strathfield and Adam Walters in Willoughby.
