Jeremy Rockliff has stunningly revealed he has given absolutely no thought to the consequences his privatisation agenda will have on the North West Transmission Development.
Tens of billions of dollars of investment and thousands of jobs depend on getting this transmission line built, and it's too important for the Premier to stuff it up.
The Premier was asked a simple question today - if TasNetworks is privatised, who will build it? The lack of a coherent response from the Premier was astounding.
The project has already stalled under Jeremy Rockliff's weak leadership. If we end up with two major windfarms and a second cable to the mainland, but no way to plug them into the grid, this will become the next Spirits fiasco.
