The final debate of the election campaign took place on Friday evening, and because we're all about ~innovation and agility~, it went down on Facebook.
Which is all very well and good...
Malcolm Turnbull buffering is almost like a beautiful Monet #AusVotes #leadersdebate Via @DavidSharaz
As long as you've got a fast enough internet connection.
Australians are being excluded from watching the #leadersdebate due to their poor internet connections #IwantmyNBN #auspol #ausvotes
Because heaps of people who tuned in to watch...
#LeadersDebate #AusVotes
Couldn't actually see what was going on.
Watching the #LeadersDebate on Turnbull's #NBN PM's been stuck in this position for the last FOUR minutes #Auspol
Like these guys...
Who else is surprised by this? #ausvotes #leadersdebate
I'm sure @TurnbullMalcolm and @billshortenmp are making good points, I just can't hear them because of my buffering #NBN #leadersdebate
And this lady.
#leadersdebate #buffering
Hey Mal any chance of talking about the #NBN? #leadersdebate #ausvotes
Even our feed dropped out.
Eleven minutes into the #leadersdebate and the feed in our Sydney CBD office has dropped #ausvotes
And the Canberra press gallery had trouble.
Buffering issues in the media room, calls to "watch it on your phones" #leadersdebate #ausvotes
At least there were some jokes.
ELECBUFFERINGTION 2016 #leadersdebate
My question is to Facebook. Why did you look at #QandA and go "we can make this more shit"? #AusVotes #LeadersDebate
My Facebook account is pushing a gay social night in Sydney rather than the #leadersdebate so at least it has my back. #ausvotes
Even Facebook couldn't catch up.
Facebook's rending topics right now #leadersdebate
And all the tweets were about the NBN.
#nbn is the most Tweeted term at the moment around the @newscomauHQ #leadersdebate. #ausvotes
Oh still buffering yet debate is over. #NBN is a fail. #leadersdebate
Haha mate, you've done it again! Sharp, quick wit! Country folk are still buffering so the #leadersdebate continues https://t.co/orl8hQq9wQ
So if there's one thing to take away from the debate...
Can't watch the #leadersdebate #buffering
It's please...
Hey Mal any chance of talking about the #NBN? #leadersdebate #ausvotes
Fix our fucking internet.
Excessive buffering, 13,000 viewers and falling on FB. This "clever" idea not so clever frankly #leadersdebate
And if you're wondering, it seems like Bill Shorten took out the night.
