Today’s Liberal energy announcement is an admission they’ve been doing it all wrong for the last 10 years.
On Jeremy Rockliff’s watch, Tasmania has entered an energy crisis, with business screaming out about a lack of power available to grow our economy.
The Liberals are energy frauds. All they are doing is admitting they have led us into a crisis by not doing anything for 10 years.
There hasn’t been any new energy generation come online for close to 1,200 days, and Hydro has not commissioned a new windfarm it owns in Tasmania since 2013 – when Labor was in office.
After 10 years of not doing anything, the Liberals have finally realised Labor had the right approach when it comes to energy.
While it’s refreshing Mr Rockliff has finally got his head out of the sand and admitted there’s an energy crisis, the reality is – if the Liberals haven’t fixed it by now, they never will.
