Tasmanian Labor
The Rockliff-Ferguson Government now officially has no energy policy.
Without consultation with industry or households, it has walked away from its plan to de-link Tasmania from the National Electricity Market (NEM) while the market is facing a crisis.
This was their signature policy to reduce prices. It was strongly supported and driven by industry.
The entire point of the policy was to protect Tasmania from the kind of price shocks that are now hitting the National Electricity Market.
Instead of de-linking, the Rockliff-Ferguson Government is embracing a market that faces a crisis.
This shows the chaos that has engulfed the government this year is now affecting policy and therefore Tasmanians.
