Guy Barnett,Minister for Energy
Not only did Labor divest some of its wind farm assets in 2011, they also tried desperately to sell Aurora in 2013 but failed to get a good offer.
Good Governments are good economic managers, and this is something the shadow Treasurer repeatedly fails to understand.
We listen to our businesses, we read the markets and we prepare for the future.
The National Electricity Market is a fast, evolving complex challenge. If we followed the lead of David O'Byrne, we'd be doing nothing for Tasmania – we'd be stuck in the dark ages.
Any potential sale of Momentum Energy would be subject to the approval of the Tasmanian Government and let's be clear, we will not sell Hydro Tasmania under any circumstances.
Tasmania, as the nation's leading renewable energy state, is ideally placed to support the national transition through our low cost, reliable and clean energy that delivers energy security and downward pressure on prices.
David O'Byrne and Labor just don't get it but we are happy to keep reminding them.
