commence in 2005.
The current monopoly is held by Aurora

They don't have any yet, but it's on the way.
Gas retail competition for domestic customers has not yet been
scheduled to commence.
http://www.originenergy.com.au/home/home.php?pageid=544
In December 2002, the Tasmanian Government announced that New
Zealand-based company, Powerco Limited, had been chosen as the
preferred distributor of natural gas in Tasmania (although at the time
of the announcement, both the Government and the company were still to
finalise their development agreements). The Government advised that
Powerco only planned to operate as a gas distributor within the State,
and other companies would therefore undertake the gas retail function.
http://www.gas.asn.au/factsandfigures/gasfacts/gf_state-tas.php?tab=tas
Wanganui Gas Limited has applied to be a retailer of gas in Tasmania
