Labor’s latest power bungle

 

Labor’s hapless energy spokesman continues to score embarrassing own goals.

Mr Winter this morning breathlessly condemned Hydro for having an interest in a wind farm project in Victoria.

Does Mr Winter even know Hydro acquired its interest in the Mt Fyans wind farm project in 2011 when Labor was in government?

Mr Winter continues to show he’s not up to delivering a coherent energy plan.

He’s trying to downplay his disaster of reversing his plan to rip Entura out of Hydro just one day after announcing it, saying it wasn’t ‘fundamental to what we are trying to do’.

Come on Mr Winter, it was at the core of your ill-conceived plan to rip the heart out of Hydro and build a new power company Tasmania doesn’t need.

Leaving Entura out of his new Tasmanian Power Co means Mr Winter’s plan collapses like a house of cards.

Only a re-elected majority Rockliff Liberal Government will save Hydro, and build this State’s next-generation renewable energy future.
