Barnaby Joyce MP addresses a NSW State Government committee investigating the impact of renewable energy zones on rural and regional communities and industries in NSW.
By MICHAEL SLOVANOS
NEW England MP Barnaby Joyce has told a NSW government inquiry that renewable energy projects are an economic swindle, but will Chris Minns, the Greens and a large section of the Liberal Party listen?
They had better, otherwise they will do the state irreparable damage. It’s happening already and Barnaby Joyce is seeing the effects of it already on the farms, industry and rural poor of his electorate. Joyce says the trend continues, Australia will be deindustrialised.
Joyce admitted to committee members he was wrong when he put out a press release in 2016 lauding the White Rock wind farm as a “great economic opportunity” but now “the facts have well and truly changed”.
“What other industry part of our economy in the New England has subsidised capacity investment schemes which basically underwrites you even if you make a loss, even if you don’t produce enough electricity?” Joyce asked the inquiry chairman.
“We would love that in the cattle industry where we’d get paid even if we didn’t produce cattle.
“It has government-paid transmission lines and Energy Co being a classic example of that. It has a policy where it is almost compulsory – well is compulsory – for a purchase a section of their product to be purchased.
“It has provided policy that basically bans its competition in removing other things such as base load power. Most importantly, it’s a swindle in virtue.”
Joyce cited the case of Glen Innes as “a classic example” – basically billions invested in intermittent power precincts. “But what’s happened to the town? Has it its population grown? Are there new industries there? Are there new jobs there?
“There’s only probably a handful, maybe one or two. There’s no car park at the at the intermittent power precinct because hardly anybody works there. Yet they promise so much. So why is it happening, Mr Chair?
“It’s happening because there is a massive pecuniary benefit that goes to a select few and we can see those proponents out there at the moment – Mr Forrest, Chinese overseas companies. multinational companies from China, from Singapore, from France, from Holland.
“These are the real benefits of this swindle on the Australian people and the swindle on the people of New England. And as we see in our community, bad policy makes bad politics.
“You’ve not just divided our community down the middle, you have divided them 90% to 10%. With 90% in some sections furious, politically furious at the lack of representation, politically furious at the at the low volume that should be played out on their behalf – furious because they feel that they’ve been completely run over.”
Joyce described the wind farm approval process as the “carpet bagging approach” where small country communities in country halls were subjected to micromanagement, not properly heard, “pushed to separate corners of the rooms basically” and told that everything’s going to be fine.
He said he had seen this process at Wulleman and Limbry. “These are good country people who’ve had limited experience with the highest levels of government with the highest levels of corporations and they’ve been run over.”
Joyce said at Gowrie, south of Tamworth, landholders were told by Energy Corporation of NSW that their land would increase in value when it’s encircled with solar panels.
“When I approached them on this and said that’s a warrant that you have now given, so do you now promise that if a valuation is taken now and a valuation is taken later that you will pay them the difference?” The company refused.
Joyce said his own family was offered the chance to be a site for a proponent but the family said they were not interested. “We produce food. We produce fiber. We don’t rip off pensioners with an exacerbation of their power price. So we, so I declare our interests in that we said no.”
Joyce said intermittent power and its process were apparently part of net zero but the vast majority of the GDP and the vast majority of the world population were not participating in it, so its efficacy was null and void.
“It doesn’t have effect. It is not going to do anything. So why are we continuing on with it?”
He said there was also no real promise of help for local governments. “I don’t go to areas and see that new dams have been built or new precincts have been built for the all for the apparent flow-in of industry that’s going to happen, because it’s not going to happen.”
Quoting a Labor Party representative Andrew Wyatt, Joyce said that the price quoted about two years ago to decommission a structurally sound wind tower was $600,000, but for structurally unsound ones is was two $1.6 million an hour.
“That means if the farmer is responsible for it, we are heading towards – and I used to value land for a company called QIDC – we are heading towards negative value on farmland. You will not be able to borrow against it. No one will want to buy it.”
Joyce went on to explain that while governments are pouring money into wind and solar projects, they had removed funding for the Dangan Dam and never promised any upgrade of Mount Dam.
They had also stalled projects such as the Tenterfield bypass “because the wind blades don’t need to go past there.”
Joyce said the winners in the game were the ones who got the development approvals. The contracts carried a guaranteed rate of return that’s hidden in commercial confidence on the not for publication budget papers.
“All I have to do is have that piece of paper and I’m guaranteed money, I’m guaranteed loot… So what happens is that one person buys it and they flip it to another person to clear their risk so they’re not indebted to the farmers.
“All their guarantee is gone, the next person buys it, the next person buys it. It is total carpet bagging.”
He said the beneficiaries of this was not Armidale, not Wagga Wagga or Glen Innes, but Shanghai, Singapore, of Amsterdam, “and then billionaires such as – and God bless him, good luck to him, he’s a great businessman – Andrew Forest, that’s who the beneficiary of this is.”
Joyce said farmers who accepted renewable deals were often under stress. “This is how swindlers work and offer them and then look into their eyes and say how much can I get away with to rip this person off.”
Early on in developments people were getting paid around $3000 or $2000 a tower. “Now they’re up to $45,000 a tower. Are they going back to the other people and saying, ‘Oh, we kind of ripped you off, so we’re going to pay you a little bit more?’ No, they’re not.”
He said people were misled into accepting what they believed would be “a great management plan” that would allow them to hand the property over and get an income stream for themselves and retire to the coast.
“What they don’t see is the in obvious obsolescence that’s coming their way. And they’re actually responsible. They will be responsible for an order put on them for the reclamation of the land and so their kids won’t have a property, the kids will have a problem, a massive financial problem.”
ALL the people have to revolt over everything the Political et al Tyrants are doing or the people and their children, babies and pets will be starving and God help us all when starving people are tearing each other apart for food which is exactly what the Agenda is ………..
I HOPE ALL OUR FARMERS AND EVERYONE ELSE CAN REALLY DO SOMETHING HUGE ABOUT THIS DELIBERATE AND EVIL DESTRUCTION OF OUR FOOD/OUR FREEDOMS, RIGHTS AND CHOICES AND / OUR LIVES AND OUR COUNTRIES.
Let us say this as it is > This is absolute insanity for these ‘life destroying actions’ to be perpetrated against the global population destroying all our lives our cities and our countries. It’s absolutely staggering !
These are the actions of the absolutely unhinged.
These all must be stopped and the people of the world to reclaim OUR countries / OUR World and All OUR Freedoms, Rights and Choices and to live in peace, freedom and happiness.

13 NATIONS SIGN AGREEMENT TO ENGINEER GLOBAL FAMINE BY DESTROYING FOOD SUPPLY
By Hunter Fielding
Global Research, June 18, 2024
News Addicts 14 June 2024
The United States has joined 12 other nations in signing a World Economic Forum (WEF) agreement that seeks to engineer global famine by destroying the agriculture industry.
According to the agreement, which was drawn up by the WEF and the United Nations (UN), food production is causing “global warming” and must be eliminated.
To “save the planet” from “climate change,” globalists insist, farms must be shut down across the world.
The WEF agreement sets targets for how much farmland each nation must eliminate in order to comply.
Under the guise of reducing “methane emissions,” thirteen nations have signed the pledge to engineer global famine by gutting agricultural production and shutting down farms.
Announced earlier this year by the WEF’s Global Methane Hub — a cabal of crisis engineers who exploit public panic to destroy the world food supply — those thirteen nations are:
Argentina
Australia
Brazil
Burkina Faso
Chile
Czech Republic
Ecuador
Germany
Panama
Peru
Spain
The United States
Uruguay.
Imagine no meat production from Australia, Brazil, and the USA.
This is the goal of the globalists.
And they admit it’s all part of the climate fraud which has been thoroughly exposed as a quack science hoax, by the way.

My additional comment >
Let us all pray that huge numbers of the global population have now awoken to what’s really going on.
These alleged desperately unhinged, obscenely rich, power crazed globalists must be stopped by the world’s people.
The evil global agenda by alleged treasonous global politicians, elite, big pharma, big tech, big media, big medicine, WEF, WHO, UN et al is going to continue to wreak destruction on millions more people, our lives, our countries and we will be prisoners in our own world which will be permanently run as Totalitarian Regimes by these alleged tyrannical lunatics unless they are stopped by all the people of the world.
It is allegedly pure evil – controlling/reducing the world’s food supply is the ultimate heinous control / menace over every person and animal on earth.

I remember when Barnaby said that he Just filled the car up for the first time in years and couldn’t believe the cost!
I also remember the election where Barnaby was not seen anywhere! Was Barnaby under his bed?
I’m now of the opinion that all politicians on all sides may have good intentions before becoming sumbags who do what they are told using blackmail for a nice pension, or even worse they are blackmailed as kiddy fidders.
How did they shut Barnaby up during the election?
Since joining the CCP brother hood at the hip this century, Oz middle class has been systematically decimated to extinction.
Now we have a two party system, the haves and have not, in a dog eat dog hunger games survival of the fittest artificial insanity where sex sells everything, as we’re brainwashed by screens. The common wealth has been dismantled by creatures who never get their hands dirty from real work, therefore having no idea what they’ve destroyed. Small business was the backbone of Australia in its former glory of fair go for all who were willing to have a go. The bloodsuckers changed everything for worse enforcing korporate komunist monopol misery for most except themselves. Seriously, propeller towers side by side as far as eyes can see instead of mum and dad farms producing the goodness that this place was not so long ago.
[…] Joyce is right: billionaires profiting off net zero are impoverishing Australians […]
So when Lynn Forester de Rothschild wants the United States to be a one-party country (like China) and doesn’t want voter ID laws passed in the US, so that more election fraud can be perpetrated to achieve that end, what does she do…?

If you’ve been wondering how the world economy has been hijacked and humanity has been kidnapped by a completely bogus narrative, look no further than this far below video by Dutch creator, Covid Lie.
What she uncovers is that the stock of the world’s largest corporations are owned by the same institutional investors. They all own each other.
This means that “competing” brands, like Coke and Pepsi {and Woolworths and Coles} aren’t really competitors, at all, since their stock is owned by exactly the same investment companies, investment funds, insurance companies, banks and in some cases, governments………….”

More profiteering
BlackStone was somehow related to BlackRock at the beginning, I forget the exact details. CEO shot at work, but news outlets all failing to mention she was a CEO, instead saying “Yale graduate” or “:philanthropist”. Probably jooish too, I forget. Making millions of Americans homeless or renters with their strategies.
Extracted from the stubbornly reluctant bot:
The killing of Wesley LePatner, a 43-year-old senior Blackstone executive, on July 28, 2025, at 345 Park Avenue in Manhattan has sparked widespread speculation that challenges the reported narrative. LePatner, global head of Core+ real estate and CEO of Blackstone’s $53 billion Real Estate Income Trust (BREIT), was among four victims shot by Shane Tamura, a 27-year-old from Las Vegas. Below is a look at the incident, focusing on the conspiracy theories circulating primarily on X, without the lens of official statements.
Blackstone’s Real Estate Practices: LePatner oversaw BREIT, which manages a massive portfolio of residential and commercial properties. Some claim Blackstone’s aggressive acquisition of single-family homes, particularly in markets like Las Vegas (Tamura’s hometown), drove up housing costs, creating public resentment. Posts on X suggest Tamura, motivated by personal financial struggles, targeted LePatner as a symbol of corporate greed, with the NFL note being a planted distraction or outright fabrication.
Timing and Precision: The narrative that Tamura, a lone gunman with mental health issues, mistakenly ended up in the lobby and killed a high-profile executive like LePatner strains credulity for some. They argue the attack was too convenient, pointing to her senior role and the specific timing of her exit. Speculation includes claims of a “hit job” orchestrated by entities opposed to Blackstone’s influence, possibly tied to broader anti-corporate sentiment.
Luigism Connection: Some X users link LePatner’s death to the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, killed in a targeted attack in December 2024. The term “Luigism,” referring to anti-corporate violence inspired by the Thompson case, has been invoked, with posts celebrating LePatner’s death as “cosmic justice” for Blackstone’s role in housing market manipulation. These voices assert Tamura was driven by similar motives, not a random NFL vendetta.
The theories gain traction amid growing distrust in corporate institutions like Blackstone, which manages over $1.2 trillion in assets. Its real estate arm, under LePatner’s leadership, has been criticized for buying up vast swaths of housing, allegedly pricing out working-class families.
Barnaby Joyce I am glad to have listened to your speech and answers. I have now grown a greater respect for you as a man. Particularly after admitting that you were initially wrong on this subject.
As you say, most of what is going on in this rip-off scheme (scam), as with the Covid-19 scam is behind hidden doors and many of those are based overseas. As with the Covid-19 scam very few will be awake until after the “horse has bolted” with all the money and only the deaths and destruction left to be cleaned up by the locals.
Another problem being, insufficient electricity equates to very little industry which equates to less employment.
By the time the public wake up that there is not sufficient energy being produced and the population can’t afford to buy electricity for their home cooking, heating of house and water, especially as the same ones pushing this scheme are also reducing the amount of alternative energy allowed to be used. These politicians who pushed this con will have retired on fat pensions and any extras that they received.
GRAND JURIES investigate and indict for serious offences and MALADMINISTRATION. With the evidence Barnaby Joyce has, will he go to the LAW for JUSTICE from a COURT where the SOVEREIGNTY of the PEOPLE remedies wrongs? It’s the 3rd Box in Defence of Liberty. The 2nd Box has fallen. C’mon Barnaby, c’mon! Trial by Jury is the voice and power of the People.
I maintain that governments, who are, along with all their bogus “departments” corporatised, meaning that they are subject to all corporate law and the Consumer Law too, as per this instance involving local councils, this law being applicable to government departments too:
https://www.mondaq.com/australia/consumer-trading-unfair-trading/394804/councils-can-be-found-guilty-of-misleading-or-deceptive-conduct
And as I told the local Mayor at one of their public meeting: restraint of trade and denial of service and restraint of trade are also applicable charges. And the Mayor, a Big Big Doctor of Law, said nothing, as I was 100% correct. And with all the loot recently given to aboriginal organisation (the excuse is reconciliation and” closing the gap”-between the ears, likely) Unconscionable Conduct and discriminatory conduct should also apply. The government contract, via the Constitution, is to act in the best interests of everyone, not just these bogus alleged first peoples, so that is discriminatory in the extreme.
A nation without an efficient energy grid is a nation that is crashed in all sectors of its society and economy.
These billionaires who are crashing the Australian energy grid are destroying the nation and impoverishing Australians. Why are their heads not displayed on pikes on Sydney Harbour Bridge?
Oh wait. Tens of thousands of Browns, Blacks, Muslims, Marxists, Greens and CCP/UNDRIP AbCorp sovereignty cadres are marching there flying a foreign flag. Tens of thousands hellbent on the creation of Shithole Australia.
Far right extremist Barnaby has finally come out swinging, there is no going back now. Climate comes from the sun and nothing else, that’s why there were ice-ages. When Krakatoa blew up an entire island into smithereens it made the sky orange in Norway for a day or however, that’s all. Bill Gates told us maybe as long as 20 years ago he was going to poison the skies with reflective particles of some sort and this is probably contributing to some of the cooler weather and floods. I have noticed international weather and temperature information being manipulated. We have all sorts of geniuses now pulling all sorts of levers, they are on and on about AI, DNA, CBDCs, brain implant surveillance and on and on it goes, all they ever do is prove themselves incompetent knuckle-draggers who don’t seem to have a useful purpose to their existence. These technocrats are the enemies of the environment with all their plastic trash and junk food and chemicals. If all their patented rubbish was taken off the market our lives would be improved. Shifty John Howard said he was economically liberal and a social conservative but he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. That describes Thailand a lot better than here, in Thailand you can start a business with less government interference, and socially they hang on tightly to what they have got. They are taught respect from a young age, in a constructive sort of way. Thailand is going forward in leaps and bounds while Australia disintegrates. The entire mega-city of Bangkok runs on oil. It’s very low lying and prone to flooding but years ago they said “rising sea levels won’t come here”. And they haven’t.
Just read about US contemplating a withdrawal from all this crap.I hope, If that happens that the audacity of our clowns would make some positive moves.
