Premier David Bartlett, Liberal Leader Will Hodgman and Tasmanian Greens 
Leader Nick McKim will meet in a free, open and public debate in Hobart 
on Tuesday, the 1^st of December at the Federation Concert Hall.

“The People’s Debate” is a joint initiative of leading Tasmanian 
organisations: TasCOSS, Unions Tasmania, the Local Government 
Association of Tasmania (LGAT), the Tourism Industry Council Tasmania 
(TICT), the Property Council of Tasmania, Environment Tasmania and 
Australian Medical Association (AMA) Tasmania Branch.

CEO of the TICT Daniel Hanna said “our seven organisations all believe 
that more than anything Tasmania needs a genuine leaders’ debate on the 
key issues that will shape the State’s future”.

“We are putting aside our different perspectives to make this debate 
happen, as we are strongly united in our belief that a free, open and 
public debate is in the best interest of Tasmania”.

“Tasmania faces important challenges over the next decade and this 
historic event is an opportunity for Tasmania’s political leaders to 
outline and debate how they will govern in the interests of all Tasmanians”.

The debate will be independently moderated and cover a broad range of 
issues for Tasmania’s economy, community, democracy and environment.

CEO of TasCOSS Tom Muller said members of the public will need to 
register, and are invited to ring TasCOSS on 6231 0755 to book their 
free tickets or register their details online at 
www.ourisland.tascoss.org.au <http://www.ourisland.tascoss.org.au/> to 
be posted their free tickets.

“The concert hall has limited capacity, so it is first in first served 
and we encourage all Tasmanians who want to see a genuine leader’s 
debate, to get in touch with us now and book their free tickets.”

“We believe Tasmanians value their democracy and will support this 
historic event.”

“The three party leaders are to be commended for agreeing to participate 
in the debate and for ensuring that Tasmanians have the chance to see 
them debate at a free and public event.”
