Then, of course, we had this power "renaissance' and States started competing, etc etc etc. Sadly for Tassie, the stupid a$seholes in the eastern States decided to pay more for hydro from Tassie (numbskulls could actually identify the source of power entering their home) and of course the Tassie pollies were having kittens at the premium prices. OK, so Tas people suffered in the sense that a wonderful system was "bastardised" to buggery.

A potted version but, I think, reasonably close.
