True to form,
Energy Minister Guy Barnett continues to be dishonest about job losses at
TasNetworks.
Minister Barnett
knows full well that there will be around 300 redundancies – about one quarter
of all employees.
In fact, he also
knows that redundancies have already started.
It beggars belief
that this Minister is so dishonest that he just won’t admit that so many jobs
are going.
This is one of the biggest job culls in recent memory and flies in the face of the Minister’s claim that he is building a bigger energy sector in Tasmania.
At the same time as the Minister claims he will oversee the building of a hydrogen sector, new wind generation and Project Marinus, the business responsible for Tasmania’s energy network is slashing a quarter of its workforce.
