According to reports, the Tasmanian government has said the original proposal for two cables has been scrapped in favour of just one cable. This was done to reduce the cost of the project. Experts tell me one cable cuts the capacity of the link, undermining its potential for enhanced energy security. Can the minister explain how cutting this project in half will bring the same level of enhanced energy security and redundancy?
