Labor All Over Shop On Energy

Liberal Tasmania
  • Nick Duigan Minister for Energy and Renewables, Minister for Parks and Heritage, Minister for Small Business, Liberal Member for Windermere
  • Labor is claiming they will guarantee power to Tasmania’s major industrial customers whilst at the same time pulling the plug on Marinus and gutting Hydro.

    It doesn’t add up.

    Labor says it will set up yet another government-owned power company to ensure future energy supply.

    That’s what Hydro is for.

    Labor says it will pay for its wild power promises by using ‘the money that the government currently has earmarked for Marinus’.

    Trouble is, Tasmania is only contributing $117m to the project.

    The rest of the money must be coming from Mr Winter’s magic money tree.

    Labor will pull the plug on Marinus and gut Hydro.

    Only a re-elected majority Rockliff Liberal Government will save Hydro and build our renewable energy future.
