The heralded Tasmanian ” Leaders’ Debate” showcasing Labor’s Bartlett, Liberal’s Hodgman and the Greens’ Nick McKim. What happened to it? Did it even happen? Did anyone go? I never saw a single thing in the media. Was it that inspiring and insightful?

I really wanted to know how they would perform. Who asked what and what the answers were? Was it a setup or did the Tasmanian public actually get to ask the hard questions?

Or was it just another in a string of David Bartlett grandiose ideas that turned out to be a fizzer?
