Qld: Beattie admits he has no confidence in Energex
Queensland Premier PETER BEATTIE has admitted he's not confident that power supplier
Energex can handle another severe storm season.
He says if storms hit Brisbane tomorrow, there'd be no way Energex could maintain a
reliable power supply or act quickly to fix power outages.
But he says it'll be better by storm season.
Mr BEATTIE says his government is yet to implement the 44 recommendations designed
to fix Queensland's energy crisis, so it's impossible to say the problem has been fixed.
He's also denied his announcement of an expanded Brisbane cruise ship terminal today
had been designed to divert the attention from the state's energy crisis.
