The Tasman project, commenced in 1953, was our first ‘modern’ Think Big project, based on underutilised resources. On the whole, the 1980s Think Big projects are considered commercial failures (although that may have been as true for any alternative program utilising the gas and electricity). Will we have another ‘Think Big’ and if so, what will be the balance between the private and public involvement? That was one of the indicators which triggered the previous rounds of Think Big. John Boshier’s just published Power Surge is very strong on the energy sector under Think Big.
