Time to pull the plug on second Basslink
Warwick Smith’s sudden resignation from the viability study of a second Basslink cable should prompt an urgent rethink of the proposal, Greens Senator for Tasmania Nick McKim says.
“Mr Smith’s departure while halfway through a study into the second interconnector gives state and commonwealth governments an opportunity to reconsider their approach,” Senator McKim said.
“They should take off the blinkers and look at all options rather than limiting their thinking to old solutions that have failed Tasmania in the past.”
