Bartlett did not attain a ministry but was Chief Government Whip from 2004 until 2007.<ref name="APH"/> His seat was radically altered ahead of the 2007 election. He'd previously held the seat with a fairly safe majority of eight percent, but a redistribution wiped out Bartlett's majority and turned Macquarie into a marginal Labor seat. He was defeated by former Labor state minister Bob Debus on a swing of six percent.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
