Hapless Duigan Ducks Energy Debate 14 March 2024

Tas Labor

I was delighted to accept Clean Energy Tasmania’s offer of a debate on the key issues facing the state’s renewable energy sector and pleasantly surprised when Nick Duigan appeared on television to accept the invitation

Labor strongly believes Tasmanians should pay a Tasmanian price for Tasmanian power, and we’ll take any opportunity to outline how we’ll make sure this happens now and into the future under our Tasmania First energy approach.

I advised the Chair of Clean Energy Tasmania that I am available at any time.

With a little over a week until the election, it is now clear Nick Duigan is going to duck out of a debate. More suited to TV fishing shows, the experiment of Nick Duigan in the energy portfolio has been a hopeless failure.

Like a bad tv fishing show, he has been cancelled for the remainder of the election campaign.
