\u201cThe operator has responded with an interim report.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt points somewhat of a guilty finger at wind farms and lack of generation due to the storm event having a cascading effect and tripping the interconnector\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cBut the premier won\u2019t go near it. He\u2019s almost in denial that wind farms are an issue in all of this, despite the report indicating that. Quite strange.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen he started to have a crack at Malcolm Turnbull\u2026 apparently he didn\u2019t do enough.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen he started to go off on a tangent about how there are haters of wind farms\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cSurely the issue is have we got the right mix. Clearly this report indicates wind farms were a problem.\u201d<\/p>\n
