Deputy Opposition Leader Jarrod Bleijie – who polls indicate will become deputy premier come Sunday – refused to attend.
Instead, The Courier-Mail stood a cardboard cut-out in his place – alongside a wheel featuring Mr Bleijie’s favourite political sayings, to be spun when it is his turn to speak.
Mr Bleijie claimed again he was too busy criss-crossing the state to attend and face the scrutiny - despite the invitation from The Courier-Mail first being extended to him six weeks ago.
Mr Dick had issued a last-minute challenge for Mr Bleijie to attend so he could outside his vision for Queensland’s future.
