Mr. Kevin Bakhurst:

Fairness is at the heart of picking some of the audience. We learned many lessons from the presidential debate. We have had one or two subsequent debates, including on the children's referendum, where we implemented the new guidelines and clear criteria for selecting the studio audience. The weekly "Prime Time" is on individual topics and is a little bit different. No party feels it gets a fair crack of the whip, whether in opposition or in government. There should be a range of voices to provide a range of perspectives on the debate.
