Our priority technologies, critical infrastructure and national security is at risk Energy policy is holding back our data centre edge

You cannot run Data Centres & AI using renewable energy Both require 7X24 baseload power.

The communists would rather rule the ashes

A friend who works for a large Electrical Contracting Business said that under the renewables program Australia doesn't have the base load power to continue opening data centres. They will start to reject the applications. This is why the governments sudden big push for batteries

I’d rather save one coral reef than build a thousand data centres.

Lead!? You mean Pb

🇺🇸 A New Chapter for America—it’s time to put cybersecurity first! 🚨 Cybersecurity = National Security A safer nation begins with informed citizens. Take the first step to understanding and protecting with the CYBERSECURITY DICTIONARY for Everyone:

Yeah...Ya right !! Britain's been leading a New Nuclear Age for yonks, just have a squiz at Hinckley, been leading the parade for years and it ain't even started yet ! If they ever get it going they won't know which government can take the credit .

Energy poverty is the ultimate end result of Bowen’s renewables policy as it will not to meet future needs.

Britain couldn't lead a dog.

Below is an analysis of the positive costs and effects of the proposed policies for Australia, focusing on the benefits for Australians. 2. Imposing 0% Tax on Australian Manufacturing and Workers Positive Costs: Eliminating taxes on Australian manufacturing firms and their workers would reduce government revenue by approximately $15–20 billion annually, based on manufacturing’s share of corporate (30% rate) and personal income taxes (up to 45%). To implement, Australia would need $50–100 million for tax system adjustments and compliance monitoring to ensure only eligible firms and workers benefit. However, these costs could be offset by increased economic activity, as tax-free manufacturing boosts production and job creation. Investments in vocational training, costing $200–300 million, would ensure a skilled workforce to support expanded manufacturing capacity. Positive Effects: A 0% tax would lower production costs, making Australian goods like steel, aluminum, and garments more competitive globally. This could attract $5–10 billion in foreign investment, particularly from firms seeking alternatives to tariff-hit Chinese manufacturing. Manufacturing output could rise by 10–15%, adding 0.7% to GDP and creating 70,000–120,000 jobs, especially in regional areas like Newcastle or Geelong, reducing urban-rural inequality. Tax-free wages would increase workers’ disposable income by 20–30%, boosting consumer spending on local businesses, from cafes to retail, and stimulating service industries. Exporters, such as Bond-Eye swimwear, could leverage lower costs to capture U.S. market share, where Chinese goods face high tariffs. The policy would encourage innovation, with firms reinvesting tax savings into automation or green tech, aligning with Australia’s net-zero goals. By reviving industries like textiles, decimated by offshoring, the policy would foster economic pride and resilience, reducing reliance on volatile global markets. Enhanced manufacturing capacity would also support defense production, strengthening Australia’s strategic autonomy amid regional tensions.
