There is a good reason for equal number of Senators (House of Reps contains members in proportion to the population) under our Constitution. The Founding Fathers followed the constitution of the American Congress where the Senate has equal number of Reps from each State and House of Reps has members in proportion to the population. This would give assent to laws passed by the majority of the people and the majority of the States and ensure the two biggest and richest States did not gain control of Parliament. So it is and so it will be. Re TasHydro, this was a well-run entity until the Govt of the day decided to dip its hands into the reserves created by HEC for future management and demanded them reserves be paid as divvies. Absolutely and totally stoopid and bankrupt (intellectually) Govt. What they should have done is not gone down the path of Bass Str cable but carried on with the vision of this country's best ever Premier - Eric Reece. They should have improved the Hydro system and provided abundant cheap power to attract industry on a large scale. By stuffing their dirty hands into the finances of HEC the stoopid Govts ensured this would never happen.

"cheap power to attract industry"

The Tasmanians don't want industry. They block any development, and then cry for our GST.
