Denis Napthine and Daniel Andrews have been grilled on legalising marijuana, the East West Link and credibility in a lacklustre town hall debate from which a clear winner did not emerge.

Facing an audience of undecided voters in the marginal seat of Frankston, both leaders jousted over questions from an unimpressed sounding audience. Both leaders talked over each other when fielding questions on legalising cannabis, costing election promises and building the East West Link.

Dr Napthine and Mr Andrews were in strong agreement about being tough on crime but would not address whether the community was safer as a result.
