Greens get twits into debate first (Sydney Morning Herald)
"The Greens ... have initiated the ''world's first Twitter election debate'', which will run today from 11.15am to 11.45am. The Greens MP Lee Rhiannon, who has managed to get the Premier, Kristina Keneally, and the Opposition Leader, Barry O'Farrell, on board, conceded that the idea was a gimmick to shoulder the Greens into the election ruck. But she argued that traditional campaigning - ''wandering the shopping malls'', for example - has become so stage-managed that new approaches are required. ''Social media is real, and more and more people are using it,'' she said. ''It'll be very interesting to see how we use our 140 characters to give solid, decent answers.''
