SOUTH Australia’s Big Green Dream has been badly dented with the state’s Liberal Party passing for a motion calling on the federal Liberal Party to end net zero.
“Today (last Saturday) the governing body of the South Australian Liberal Party voted to call upon the Federal Parliamentary Liberal Party to rescind their policy of Net Zero by 2050,” Senator Alex Antic posted on X. The graphic (inset) was posted with the comment.
Senator Antic’s announcement sent waves of panic through the political and media establishment, with only “right wing media” announcing it. The ABC appeared to have ignored the story but on Friday ran a story citing Liberal Party MPs who “fear a looming discussion within the Coalition about net zero might damage the party politically”.
But in the limp-wristed fashion typical of the “Tealy” types who inhabit the Liberal Party, the SA Liberal leader Vincent Tarzia tried to downplay it, telling reporters that ‘none of these policy discussions bind any of the parliamentary wings of the party’.
South Australia’s Energy and Mining Minister Tom Koutsantonis accused Senator Antic of taking over the SA Liberals. “While ordinary South Australians are worried about the cost of living and ensuring their kids have a good job and a good home, the South Australian Liberals are obsessing over the culture wars,” he said.
Koutsantonis failed to mention that ordinary South Australians now have the highest energy costs in the nation, thanks to their so-called 100% renewables electricity system backed up by gas turbine electricity.
Last March, 20,000 homes and businesses around the Yorke Peninsula and mid-north of the state were left without power after a major power outage caused by a failure in the complex renewables network.
Broadcaster Ben Fordham weighed into the story, telling listeners that between 2012 the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) did not once intervene in the national energy market because it had virtually no renewables except for some hydro.
But with increasing wind and solar supply the system has become increasingly unstable and by 2017 the number of AEMO market interventions to prevent blackouts jumped to around 100. By 2021 the interventions hit 400 and by 2024, 1300 interventions or more than three a day.
The green “news service” Renew Economy reported on the decision describing Senator Antic as “far right” and reminded its reader that five years ago, when in government, the Liberals set the target of reaching 100 per cent net renewables by 2030.
“It was a stunning ambition, and unrivalled in the world because in South Australia, renewables means wind and solar and storage, as there is no hydro and no geothermal power,” editor Giles Parkinson enthused. He also failed to mention the state’s soaring power prices.
He went on to claim that the plan announced by the Liberals “progressed so well that early last year, the re-elected Labor government accelerated the 100 per cent net renewables target to 2027, and later enshrined it in law as part of its Climate Change Act.”
Parkinson claims “the target is still on track”, with the state averaging 72 per cent wind and solar over the last 12 months, and with the new Goyder South wind project, the state’s biggest, ramping up with “a fleet of new big batteries due to join the grid”. No doubt South Australians can’t wait.
Parkinson says meeting that target on schedule will likely depend on the ability of the new link to South Australia, Project Energy Connect, being completed on time. It will allow a total of 800 MW to be imported or exported on its lines.
“The federal Coalition now finds itself at odds over net zero, with elements of both the federal Liberal party and the Nationals pushing for the scrapping of net zero targets for 2050 – considered to be the bare minimum Australia, and the rest of the world, needs to achieve in its efforts on climate change,” wrote Parkinson repeating the “climate change” mantra as if it’s a law of nature.
Parkinson went on to shed tears over Queensland abandoning the previous Labor government’s carbon targets and the axing of a previously approved $1 billion wind project last week.
1900 Scientists Say ‘Climate Change Not Caused by CO2’ – The Real Environment Movement Was Hijacked
Very few people actually dig into the data, they simply accept the UN IPPC reports. Yet many highly respectable and distinguished scientists have done exactly that AND FOUND THAT THE UN-PROMOTED MANMADE CLIMATE CHANGE THEORY IS SERIOUSLY FLAWED.
Are you aware that almost 2,000 of the world’s leading climate scientists and professionals in over 30 countries have signed a declaration that there is no climate emergency and have refuted the United Nations claims in relation to man-made climate change? See this.
In summary, CO2 reduction is the main focus of the UN-promoted climate-change-hysteria that has been rampant among the world’s population.
However, the proclaimed climate crisis exists in computer models only.
The cult of ‘manmade climate change’ is a media and UN politically-promoted ‘ideology’, that is used for a wider political and corporate agenda.
Manmade climate change is not based in fact, and has hijacked real environmental concerns.
Due to incessant UN, government, and corporate-promoted climate change propaganda, many people are, thus, in a media-induced state of confusion, and, thus, blindly assume their pre-determined role in society under this ‘dictatorship of words’ without even being aware of it.
The unpalatable reality is that people’s access to energy and resources is being intentionally reduced via bogus climate change policies, inflation, ongoing geo-political theatre and intentionally instigated war.
We cannot understand how to create a truly resilient society unless we correctly perceive the current society we live in and how it came to exist.
Unless we recognize the untruths of the current paradigm, even if it is not ‘politically correct’ to do so, then we will not be able to make the correct adjustments to our communities and local/regional networks, or create a truly resilient thriving society.
In this spirit of truth, new networks are emerging worldwide.

There Will Be No Climate Catastrophe: MIT Professor Dr Richard Lindzen – Climate Depot
According to Lindzen, all recent predictions of climate catastrophe have proven false, and future ones will be as well. “2030 will pass. 2050 will pass. Fifty years will pass. There will be no climate catastrophe,” he says.
In the interview, Lindzen thoroughly discusses what climate scientists know about climate change and its processes, as well as the half-truths and outright lies propagated by those proclaiming a climate crisis. He addresses topics such as the limited capacity of CO2 to warm the planet, its actual role on Earth, misleading claims about the increasing frequency of extreme weather events, the absurdity of climate policies and the future of energy.
Dr Richard Lindzen is an internationally recognized American atmospheric scientist and MIT emeritus professor whose contributions to climate science are significant.

AGL drained householder’s solar battery at peak times then slammed him with peak rates for using the grid.
FirstFactCheck
Jun 06, 2025
Peter Anderson joined AGL’s solar battery plan in 2021 and accepted $1,000 off his battery installation costs in return for participating in a VPP or virtual power plant, a scheme where AGL aggregates householders’ batteries, using those devices according to the needs of the grid.
He signed up for a five year deal.
For the first year, everything was fine.
“It was all very gentle and easy going,” Mr Anderson says, “It was, ‘Hey, this is what it is, we promise we won’t do these things, we promise we will do these things, we knock a thousand bucks off the battery, we put you on a five-year deal to stay on the program for five years.’ The idea of it was to help stabilise the grid in times of drama. So it all seemed very reasonable. And for the first year, I don’t even think they touched the battery.”
A year or so into the deal, AGL suddenly, and he says without warning, signed him up for a complicated kind of dynamic charge called a demand tariff, where the power price customers are charged is determined by their single greatest half-hourly period of electricity use from the grid across an entire month. Essentially, if you’re taking power from the grid at the peak times, you are charged more for all your power usage for the month. The power company says they adequately notified him of the change, but he says it was a complete surprise when he got the bill.
At the same time, AGL started to drain his battery at peak times, meaning that he was forced to use grid power at those times, and raising his power prices astronomically for the whole month.
He says, “They changed the way they use the battery. It went from these little bites every now and again to just full on sucking the thing down to its 5 per cent reserve level, just dragging everything out of it. And you could map when they were doing that to when the price on the (national electricity market) had skyrocketed.”
AGL disputes Mr Anderson’s claim — and in doing so basically admitted that they were draining the battery.
‘a spokeswoman rejected claims AGL ever entirely depleted the batteries of participating households, saying it was the company’s policy to always leave at least 20 per cent of a charge remaining.’
Draining 80 per cent of the charge seems to be quite unreasonable.
They also claim that the demand tariff was a completely separate matter, unrelated to the regular draining of the battery, which of course it isn’t, if they were draining the battery then imposing the peak tariff. The demand tariff was so unpopular, however, that they have canned it now completely.
For Mr Anderson, his own experience was bad enough to leave the VPP scheme.
In future, he says he’ll manage his own energy needs.
“This is an obvious misuse of the virtual power plant solution,” he believes.
“They’re draining the battery to service other clients and you’re left in the lurch.
“Now, I bet if you go through the fine print … there’s no guarantees around that.
“But there’s the way they sell it and the spirit in which they sell it, which is very much against how they behaved.”

Don’t tell me this f**kwits are finally getting some backbone, maybe they’re realising that their necks will be on the chopping block too! They are caught between a rock and a hard place, retribution from their masters and retribution from us!

Is all the crap forced by the WEF and United Nations suddenly starting to unravel? One would hope so. If so what are our loathe-some politicians next plans for control over the population?
We have South Australia waking up to the fact that “net zero” can never work and Queensland have adjusted their Covid-19 “vaccine” requirements.
Are the miracles of the internet starting to work positively in the fact that more of the population are beginning to awaken from their enforced msm slumber?
Geez, Pat! I didn’t think of that. I was so desperately keen to get at least one more arsehole into the Parliament. But I’ll still keep voting cause Joe Blow told me so. rotflmao
daviddd22 said – “… we’ll just keep voting in an extra One Nation senator until they form a majority…”
And then there’ll be NO STOPPING the legally immune and utterly indemnified UN armies from invading Australia and beating and raping and pillaging and killing their way across the continent from East to West and North to South.
Because One Nation SUPPORTED that legislation and helped to push it THROUGH, they helped the fake corporate “government” to pre-emptively LEGALISE the UNOPPOSED OCCUPATION of our country by savage barbaric UN armies, folks. How many of the incurable Pauline fans actually KNOW that? How many of the delirious One Nation enthusiasts even CARE?
re: Dianedrayton… “Alex Antic is the great and ethical man who should have been Leader of the LNP.”
Yes, but 3 against a 1000 is not goof odds for him. 🙁
re: Pat from Vic… “Plain and simple, so easy to see, just look at the same LOCKSTEP pattern all across the Western world.”
lol Reckon we’ll just keep voting in an extra One Nation senator until they form a majority and then she’ll be right, mate. Then we can get off our knees and be counted. 😉
What a mess we are in, thanks to unlawful party politics.
Entering into treaties is constitutionally unlawful.
None were ever signed by our non-existant Monarch.
Net Zero is for politically inept puppet politicians who suffer from blackmail-itis.
Their obligations to their offshore globalist masters has to be observed in full or they will get payback.
If they slipup and govern correctly, Constitutionally, then they or their family members will receive a penalty … kidnapping, death, injury, loss of job.
You voted them into a deadly job, and they cannot get out.
[…] Censorship, panic, denial after SA Liberal Party abandons net zero […]
Look at Germany folks. Suicide by “Green” power.
And then look at China. A new coal-fired power plant being built every second day.
And we send all our Natural Gas and Coal overseas to places like China, while we ban it’s use in our own country. Same with Uranium, folks, did you know that Australia has 40% of the world’s known Uranium reserves yet we export it all to foreign countries because Australia has always REFUSED to use it for our own energy needs.
Why, folks?
Because our fake foreign-owned corporate “government” has been instructed to exterminate us. Hey, no skin off their noses, they have their lucrative obscenely luxurious retirement plans and beach-front holiday homes all mapped out and WE PAY FOR IT, they really don’t give a rat’s arse if and when and how we die, just so long as it’s sooner than later.
Plain and simple, so easy to see, just look at the same LOCKSTEP pattern all across the Western world.
I don’t know, but if the States want to drop out of the Net Zero delusion they might have to negotiate with the Fed gov first. My understanding is that Aus is entangled in a web of international treaties that include Net Zero principles. If so, any such treaties will need to be cancelled.
Then there is the whole business model of ‘Home Energy Upgrades’ to be funded by Green or Clean Energy loans (for owners who don’t have the spare cash). If and when Energy Efficiency Certificates get mandated on the public in order to battle whatever climate BS is doing the rounds, there will a financial compulsion to make the upgrades before a home is sold or bequeathed.
Luckily, Blackrock has deep pockets of funny money to lend out.
Alex antic has been fighting for rational thinking in the Liberal Party for the last few years. He should be applauded.
Why would politicians want to style themselves as “leaders” when they put all their efforts into holding back the likes of Alex Antic and Matt Canavan who are leading the pack simply by talking about reality. The answer is the politicians answer to Globalists who plan a vast “Carbon Credit” accounting scheme to put a new spin on taxing the air we breathe.
Unfortunately the hydrogen storage plan is falling apart thanks to technical reasons and economic practicalities.
First we got fake money from Swissy’s BIS and next we are scheduled to get fake ‘Carbon Credits”, a form of international trade where you also don’t have to provide any actual goods but you also don’t have to produce any meaningful accounting or results, you can bribe and lie as much as you please and sell whatever carbon mitigation contraptions you can dream up and nobody will ever know, least of all party apparatchiks.
