REVELATIONS that the cost of the “transition to renewables” could cost Australia a trillion dollars has prompted Family First National Director and NSW Legislative Council candidate Lyle Shelton to call for an urgent parliamentary inquiry.

Veteran business journalist Terry McCrann says the Albanese government is trying to “force feed” renewables through the Capacity Investment Scheme announced by Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen in 2023.

However Shelton is likely to be ignored, both by the political establishment and media, dominated by the warm and fuzzy sentiment that “clean, green energy is our future”.

One Nation MP Barnaby Joyce describes the projects being funded through the Capacity Investment Scheme as the “renewables swindle factories”.

Shelton is hoping to win an Upper House seat in the NSW Parliament next March, in which case he will move immediately to establish a full inquiry into what McCrann has described.

“Taxpayers and electricity bill payers were never told this transition would cost anywhere near $1 trillion,” Shelton says. “They were told renewables would be cheaper. That claim has now been completely exposed.”

Mr Shelton said the emerging figures showed a staggering escalation in costs — from early estimates of just billions for transmission infrastructure to hundreds of billions, with total system costs ballooning into the trillions once financing is included.

“This is not a minor miscalculation. This is a catastrophic failure of planning, transparency and honesty,” he said.

“Australians have been misled. The true cost has been hidden, and now families are paying the price through soaring electricity bills and a cost-of-living crisis that shows no sign of easing.”

Mr Shelton said the burden of financing the renewables rollout over decades would lock in high power prices for a generation.

“Unaffordable electricity is now baked in for the next 30 years under this model,” he said. “That makes Australia less competitive, drives up the cost of everything, and places enormous pressure on households already struggling to make ends meet.”

Mr Shelton says the inquiry, which would obviously require the support of One Nation and the Liberal-National Party, would examine how initial costings were so dramatically wrong, who knew about the risks, and why governments continued to press ahead.

“We need answers to some very serious questions,” he said. “Who signed off on these so-called ‘estimates’? What assumptions were made? And why were Australians not told the truth?”

Mr Shelton also raised concerns about the impact on regional communities and agricultural land, with thousands of kilometres of transmission lines and industrial-scale energy zones being rolled out.

“Our farmers are being asked to sacrifice productive land for a scheme that is fast becoming an economic disaster,” he said.

Mr Shelton believes there is still time to change course. “Only a fraction of the total projected spending has been locked in. This inquiry must be the first step in stopping a nation-crushing mistake before it is too late.

“Family First will fight to protect Australian families from being saddled with the cost of one of the worst public policy failures in our history.”

  1. Unregulated Wireless 5G Rollout under HR 2289 Would be Catastrophic for Human Health and the Environment.
    Global Research. 22 April 2026.

    Excerpt >
    The purpose of HR 2289, currently being considered in the U.S. Congress, is to remove all local control over the rollout of 5G cell towers. There are many reasons that unregulated 5G (which stands for 5th generation), will bring devastation. It will greatly increase the risk of out of control fires, and cause very adverse health impacts, for which there is extensive documentation.

  2. They are at it again in Queensland pushing the Digital Smart Meters>

    I got notification yet again today that they are going to install a smart meter between 6 May and 12 May, 2026 (I told them a year ago – no they are not and I told them again today); advising them that they do not have consent from us to install a smart meter and they are not allowed to do so.

    In case you have similar concerns to us of the suppressed global health effects et al. of the ubiquitous EMR – I send you this information if you desire to do likewise.

    The phone number regarding digital meters is 1300 669245 where you can tell them that you do not consent to digital smart meter.

  3. Another inquiry? For decades there needed to be a criminal investigation for charges of treason and crimes against humanity against out politicians but they rigged the law system too…Foreign agendas are treason without the expressed permission/consent, via referendum, of the people. There is no science in global warming, it just bullshit and always was, no question at all, co2 does nothing measurable to the climate, being on of the least of over 300 known variables in the climate system, which makes it a chaotic system and unpredictable by computer models/mathematics. ‘Climate scientists have been predicting the climate with computer models’ is not true, as it isn’t possible.

    This has been so crafty, this brainwashing, that nobody recognizes treason anymore. Treacherous and traitorous, all this treason. 1986 Australia act dissolved an in-dissolvable constitution, without referendum again…That one gave ‘permission’ to the states to IGNORE UTTERLY and write laws repugnant to the constitution, which invalidates them in the real world…The Queen was present that day in Parliament and the politicians tried to get her to sign off on it…So she wrote ‘Elizabeth Windsor’ at the top of the page, saving herself from the charge of TREASON! The Politicians rammed it through without royal assent. The Queen should have been hanged anyway, her only roles was to PROTECT THE RIGHTS OF AUSTRALIANS. She didn’t do that…

  4. PRIVATE JETS & AMAZON DESTRUCTION: THE COP30 CIRCUS.
    Senator Malcolm Roberts – One Nation
    The latest globalist circus: UN COP30 in Belem, Brazil was a monumental failure and a masterclass in elite hypocrisy. While 55,000 “carpetbaggers” and technocrats gathered to lecture us on our carbon footprint, they were busy carving a highway through the heart of the Amazon rainforest just to improve access to their venue. 30,000 trees gone, destroying 10,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide sequestration, all while sipping champagne on luxury cruise ships floating in a harbor filled with raw sewage.
    The hypocrisy is staggering.
    They parked 250 private jets at local airports and then had the gall to discuss taxing your airline flights.
    The UN KNOWS the 1.5° target is a fantasy.
    The truth is coming out: most countries know that Net Zero will bring economic ruin and that carbon dioxide is essential for human prosperity.
    Australia is already at “net zero”. Our forests absorb more CO2 than we produce.
    To chase “green” energy, the government is blowing up mountaintops for wind turbines and cutting through national parks for transmission lines. 
    And Ministers like Chris Bowen are being rewarded with UN roles for facilitating the transfer of Australian wealth into the pockets of billionaire crony capitalists and foreign interests.
    This isn’t just about the weather; it’s about control. The “Globalist Uniparty” (Labor, Liberal, Greens, and Teals) is ushering in a future where you are herded into 38-storey “human filing cabinets” in 15-minute cities.
    They want to track your spending and deny transactions for meat, travel, or air conditioning once you hit your “limit.”
    The push to eliminate cash is the final step in building this virtual prison.
    And under the guise of fighting “misinformation,” they are moving to criminalise dissent and “defossilise knowledge.”
    When I warned about this nearly a decade ago, people laughed – yet nobody is laughing now.
    Everyday Australians are waking up to the fact that One Nation was right. We are the only party with the guts to stand up to this madness.
    Our plan is simple: 1️ Withdraw from the United Nations and the World Health Organisation; 2️ Exit the UN Paris Agreement immediately; and 3️ Stop Net Zero to protect Australian living standards and sovereignty.
    The UN is out of control, and this Labor government is their willing accomplice.
    Put Australia first.

  5. The dirty secret powering Australia’s green future | 7NEWS Spotlight

    20 Apr 2026

    In a special investigation, 7NEWS Spotlight takes viewers into the Chinese-controlled mines fuelling Australia’s renewable roll out.

    Reporter Liam Bartlett travels to some of Africa’s poorest yet mineral rich nations to expose the strategy behind China’s campaign to dominate the global supply of critical minerals.
    These critical minerals, such as copper, cobalt and nickel are fundamental to Australia’s push to transition our energy grid to renewable.
    The Spotlight crew gained access to mines where tens of thousands of children are being put to work to extract critical minerals in Chinese owned mines.
    Those minerals are refined in China and used to make components which are included in the vast majority of wind turbines, batteries, electric vehicles, solar panels, and virtually every piece of infrastructure in Australia’s renewable network.

  7. The Deadly Toll Wind Farms And Solar Panels Take On Wildlife.
    Written by Vijay Jayaraj on April 14, 2026. Posted in Current News

    Numerous studies by biologists and ornithologists are unequivocal in expressing rising concern about the slaughter of birds and other creatures by so-called eco-friendly technologies
    Many of the researchers, while not opposed to the concept of alternative sources of energy, are dropping the pretense that wind and solar energy are benign.
    The fundamental flaw of these technologies is their low energy density. To generate the same amount of reliable electricity as a natural gas-fired generator or a nuclear power plant, thousands of acres of additional land are required for wind and solar.
    This is a matter of physics. Yet, in a rush to meet arbitrary “net zero” targets, the environment supposedly being protected is destroyed.
    Wind and solar facilities devastate wildlife, destroy habitats, fragment ecosystems, and leave ecological wreckage that extends far beyond what the ‘green’ lobby cares to acknowledge.
    The narrative of politicians and well-heeled environmental NGOs – that wind and solar are the saviors of the natural world – is a lie. The data proves that these projects are not just displacing wildlife but are killing it on an industrial scale.
    A shocking assessment reveals the extent of this encroachment.
    Wind and solar farms overlap with 2,310 threatened amphibians, birds, mammals, and reptiles globally. This accounts for 36 percent of the world’s threatened species. The “green” utopia is being built on the graves of the vulnerable.
    A study analyzing the footprints of “renewable” energy projects found that 2,206 operational facilities had degraded 886 protected areas, 749 “key biodiversity areas,” and 40 distinct wilderness areas.
    The researchers project a 30 percent expansion of this footprint as natural sanctuaries are further industrialized.
    Another study did an examination of 84 peer-reviewed studies of onshore wind installations, documenting 160 cases of species displacement affecting birds, bats, and various mammalian species.
    For the golden eagle, a symbol of wild majesty, the impact is death. In the Western United States, documented mortalities more than doubled between 2013 and 2024, from 110 to 270.
    An assessment of 42 African raptor species documented an 88 percent decline over a 20-40 year period. The study identified wind farms as a major factor.
    In China, the rush for wind power has resulted in a nearly 10% decline in overall bird populations following the construction of wind farms.
    In Changdao County, located on a critical migration route for 330 bird species, local communities reported reduced bird populations and increased pest activity. In a stunning admission of failure, 80 wind turbines were demolished to save the ecosystem.
    Recent research shows that in humid regions, large-scale solar plants cause near-total vegetation collapse. The panels block the sun, altering the microclimate and leading to soil instability. Without the roots to hold the earth, the foundation of the ecosystem is lost.
    In desert ecosystems, localized alterations caused by solar arrays disrupt the growth cycles of plants and the lives of microorganisms that keep the desert healthy.
    In China, photovoltaic development has caused fragmentation and habitat loss across more than 2,100 square miles of agricultural, sandy, and grassy areas.
    Solar development on intact landscapes reduces species richness. Perimeter fencing creates impassable barriers, trapping animals and preventing the genetic flow necessary for healthy populations.
    In the United States, solar energy alone is estimated to cause between 37,800 and 138,600 bird deaths annually. Why? Because from the air, vast fields of solar panels look like water.
    A study from Poland confirms this “lake effect,” showing that photovoltaic farms attract waterfowl due to water-like reflections. These birds descend, expecting a cool lake, and instead crash into scorching glass.
    The study identified 70 bird species at risk across six sites, with high-collision risk concentrated within 650 feet of the installations.
    A Mojave Desert tortoise, an ancient survivor of harsh conditions, is losing to the solar boom. From 2004 to 2014, the species experienced a 39% loss in population.
    Industrial-scale solar has destroyed approximately 100,000 acres of their habitat. We are evicting a species that has lived in the Mojave for millions of years to make room for panels that will be obsolete in 20.
    We must stop the reckless expansion of low-density energy projects in valuable ecosystems.
    The “green” transition is running red with the blood of creatures we are supposed to protect.

  8. Hey folks,

    Let’s not lose sight of what’s REALLY going on here.

    This isn’t an issue of “governmental incompetence”, these craven low-life sold-out paid-off foreign-owned mongrel arsehole bastards all know EXACTLY what they’re doing and WHY.

    This is all about IMPLODING our economy and industry and society and DRIVING us into manufactured SCARCITY and POVERTY and HARDSHIP and OPPRESSION and PERSECUTION, herding us all into the unfolding tyrannical Orwellian POLICE STATE that will usher in the Great Reset and New World Order. All done in LOCKSTEP with every other Western nation across the Planet, under the meticulously planned and gamed ORDERS of the baby-eating psychopathic genocidal Luciferian Globalists.

    They don’t work for us and they don’t answer to us, surely that’s as obvious as dog’s balls, as conspicuous as tits on a bull by now?

    And it’s coming at us from EVERY possible direction, folks, so don’t even THINK about getting comfortable. Remember all that Third World immigration flooding Western countries all around the world in LOCKSTEP? In case you haven’t noticed, it HAS NOT STOPPED.

    And what about all that GEOENGINEERING promoted by genocidal psychopaths like creepy Bill that certain Cairns News AUTHORS assure us is just a “conspiracy theory”, even though you only have to LOOK UP to SEE it with your OWN EYES FFS…

    [ https://twitter.com/i/status/2045344325186269509 ]

    And now, after YEARS of deliberately systematically DEMOLISHING our electricity generation infrastructure which CONTINUES, the destruction HAS NOT STOPPED, we’re heading into YEARS of SCARCITY and HARDSHIP and LOCKDOWNS and whatever OTHER totalitarian BS they can scheme up, by cutting off the FUEL and the FERTILISER and the industrial FEEDSTOCKS and the LOGISTICS supply chains that our economy needs to even funstion AT ALL, that we need just to SURVIVE let alone prosper and flourish.

    And all this in Australia, the world’s LARGEST LNG exporter and BY FAR the largest COAL exporter on Earth! A land of unrivalled ABUNDANCE and NATURAL RESOURCES spanning the entire CONTINENT form coast to coast, occupied by a groveling sniveling IMPOVERISHED STARVING BEATEN DOWN UNDERCLASS of 30 million Useless Eaters too COWED and BRAINWASHED and IMPOTENT to do anything to save themselves, much less improve the to even a FRACTION of its true potential.

    Sucks to be us, really it does.

  9. Yes, it’s clearly going to spell disaster for us mug punters but it’s already a roaring success and a massive windfall for the corrupt, treacherous used car salesmen selling the lemon deal to us.

    They know we’ll simply sigh, go on our way and forgive and forget that we’ve been fkd and skinned by them. And they’ll simply disappear and live happily and wealthily forever after. (Did somebody mention the name Dan Andrews under their breath?)

    After all, we are a bunch of happy, silly, little vegemites, right? We deserve a pat on the back for being so accommodating and understanding.

  10. Channel 7 “SpotLight” is ripping the Green Revolution a new asshole, ABC-TV and SBS-TV would never dare to show such material

  11. According to the local DailyDrivel today Elbow told all his ministers not to take any flights anywhere in this difficult time.
    Mwa ha ha ha haaa !!! Only Elbow is allowed to fly around, except Pongy Wong he takes along to tell him what to say.

  12. Bibi, the answer is “probably in the hands of foreign investors and Aussie insiders collecting all the government subsidies”.

  13. Hey folks,

    Now that we’re faced with a looming internationally manufactured PERMANENT oil fuel drought and we’ve ALREADY BANNED LNG and coal here in Australia under penalty of DEATH, brace for the all-out full-retard ACCELERATION of the sold-out paid-off fake corporate “government’s” multi-trillion dollar totally useless RENEWABLE ENERGY rollout across fields and over hills and through forests THROUGHOUT THE LAND.

    Guaranteed. Because never waste a “crisis”, folks, and the Globalists are calling all the shots. So bend over and spread those butt cheeks, folks, here comes Brainiac Bowen to SHAFT us all.

    Never mind that Australia is the world’s largest LNG exporter and BY FAR the world’s largest coal exporter.
    Never mind that Australia COULD buy oil from Russia, but sold-out paid-off baby-eating harpy Penny Wrong says NO.

    Sucks to be completely impotent.
    Sucks to be so irretrievably f*cking stupid.
    Sucks to be impoverished and starving in a sea of abundance.
    Sucks to be us.

  14. You had better get in the shade Neville, those parasites are gnawing your brain.

    When tourists travel to countries where less fortunate people, the locals put on a dance for a few shekels and sell some bracelets; welcome to Australia 2035.

    I’m picturing Neville in a grass skirt, if he’ll be able to afford the grass, putting on a little show for some fags and a bowl of gruel.

  15. If those solar panels were “Made in Australia”and located in sheep country where there are no trees they then would be great for providing shade under the hot sun .

  16. Prof Joe : Crown Land lease lands to the darkies on about a 4 year rotation so ownership always belong to Crown

  17. Commenter duck
    I see it as a legal fudge, so Terra Nullius gets a strata title over it which used to belong to the Crown / Royal Personage but is being transferred to Swissyland and corporate ownership. Our “freehold” has gone out with the Constitution which probably expired after 99 years ( if it was ever truly signed ) and we never had any claim over the resources, these are paid separately, to the Crown / Royal Personage. So, via UNDRIP and treaties the place will slowly be transferred over to UN and 100 years from now I see just robots doing mining and a few tourist attractions like Uluru with dancing aborigines or “Australia Zoo” where people wear the cork hats and give tourists koala bears to hug. Who would have thought genocide could be so complicated but I guess it’s like the parasite that slowly eats the caterpillar out all except for the nervous system. In my view we were always, as the title deed says, some type of “tenant”.

  18. It appears that along with other countries in the western Pacific, China is having a dip Joe.

    Australia 🤷our movers and shakers are content making money, producing nothing from financial services, hospitality, retail, health and human services, information technology and education which does nothing for GDP.

    What shared common-wealth is dug up or tapped seems to be highly undervalued and given up too readily.

    It’s as if the country has been bankrupted and the people are repaying some unknown debt.

  19. Commenter duck, I cut and paste:

    🛢️ 🇨🇳 China (dominant driller)
    The main player is:
    China National Offshore Oil Corporation
    What they’re doing:
    Running multiple active offshore oil projects
    Starting new production fields (e.g. Xijiang, Wenchang, Weizhou)
    Awarding contracts for deepwater drilling projects
    👉 China is by far the largest and most active driller in the region right now.

    🛢️ 🇲🇾 Malaysia
    Operates drilling in areas like the Luconia Shoals
    Conducts oil and gas exploration within its claimed waters
    👉 Malaysia drills, but at a smaller scale than China

    🛢️ 🇻🇳 Vietnam
    Has numerous oil and gas contracts with foreign companies
    Historically worked with partners like:
    Japan (Inpex)
    Russia (Vietsovpetro)
    Others
    👉 Drilling is limited and politically sensitive due to Chinese pressure

    🛢️ 🇵🇭 Philippines
    Has potential fields (like Reed Bank) but:
    Many projects are on hold or stalled
    Often due to disputes with China
    👉 Not currently a major active driller compared to others

    🌍 International companies (support role)
    Foreign firms are involved mainly as contractors or partners, not sovereign operators:
    SLB (OneSubsea joint venture)
    → engineering and offshore systems contracts with CNOOC
    Other historical players:
    BP
    Total
    Repsol (some projects halted due to pressure)

  20. I watched a recent interview by Danny Haiphong from within mainland China with Zhang Weiwei, professor of international relations at Fudan University, director of its China Institute.

    The questions were about China’s position on the U.S.-Israel-Iran conflict the resulting global instability, China building relationships with countries through mutually beneficial cooperation compared to the U.S. destroying theirs through aggression, the rise and fall of empires.

    It was hard for me to pick holes in his statements as they were based on facts.

    But

    He mentioned multipolar, that countries of the world should remain sovereign whilst remaining members of the U.N., their green agenda and sustainability goals, that the world’s future is a green economy, that China is powered 20% by renewable energy, the rest by coal fired power stations and in mid sentence articulate damage control, that their coal fired stations are built on clean technologies, not like the old stations.

    80:20% is about the right mix to maintain transmission and distribution network stability.

    China’s wealth and rise as an industrial power-house was built and runs on coal; and selling solar and wind generators; and products made from plastics and the periodic table to the world.

    China is short on oil resources ~1.6% of total advertised known world reserves.

    Presently mainland China runs on 1,195 coal fired power stations (plants)

    India 290

    United States 195

    Australia 18

    18, It got me trying to count 18 Australian Elected-Servants not possessed by Malthusian globaalist elites’ wealth generator, complex supply chains, the U.N. green agenda; the Sustainable Development Goals pushed by influencer Jeffrey Sachs, who is mentioned in 861 Epstein File documents.

    All is not green in China.

    The definition of politically powerful countries are totally self sustaining, have untold natural resources, can feed their populations with nourishing homegrown food, can have strong family bonds, be highly educated, with meaningful employment and leisure time.

    This country once politically powerful is a quarry, the people fed on cheap overseas produce paid at a premium to corporations owned by international banksters, bled by multinational elites through their agents and their treasonous, resilient🤮assets infesting our branches of governments, Federal and State as well as local municipal corporations, their councillors.

    One ot the most politically powerful country on earth in one generation was degrade to dag; hanging off the ass of a crumbling empire, whose defence products are mighty useless dinosaurs, displayed for all our pollies to see in the Ukraine and Israel, they’ve known for years and yet the pollies further indebt our babies buying crap.

    A bad investment, from merchants of death; loan-shark funded fizzers.

    How goes our mighty defender, the way of the Poms in WW2 back home; and we were never going to caught out again.

  21. To be fair you had to be a complete moron to think it was ever going to cost less than trillions. So we are victims of our own stupidity with apologies to those who have been voting against renewables policies since the very start.

  22. You noggins should consider doing what I am thinking of doing in writing to the local rag demanding that some heads should roll over this fuel supply fiasco.
    I sent my bloke, Deputy PM Richard Marles and then-PM Rudd, both of the NRMA reports that came out in 2013 and 2014, with only the usual robo-reply coming back, as I would doubt that Marles has ever replied, personally, to anyone.
    He and Albo are notorious for not reading their briefs, so I would doubt that Richard even skimmed through those reports I sent him.
    I am going to say that heads must roll over this disaster, and one of them should be refinery-town- Richard, who doesn’t seem to give a toss about anything but his (dismal) career, one letter writer, years ago, saying in the local rag, on Marles publicly stating that he wanted to be PM, that he didn’t know why Marles would want to do that, because he had never done anything for anyone in Geelong!
    As the recently-posted CN article says, I accused him-and by implication, the government-of breach of contract, which is what this crapola really is.
    I also told Richard’s staffer, Matthew, who seems a really good bloke, that the $64 billion’s excise from just the last four years needs to be accounted for and repatriated to the people, because it belongs to us the people, and not the government, because it has not been used for its intended purpose, namely, building and fixing our buggered up roads.
    It is all well and good for people to have a bleat here, and threaten to go and buy their rope, but nailing your local poo-bag with that breach charge might at least cause them some consternation.
    And along with that you could email them the Cheran item that tells the story about how those Mexican townspeople sacked everyone.
    https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-37612083
    Maybe if Pat and Ropey’s local were forced to resign they might, once returned to civilian life, be grabbed and put in the stocks in the local square, so that the kids could have some fun throwing rotten tomatoes, and worse, at them, for an extended period of time.
    And, given that they owe us big time, they could be made to surrender their pensions to a good cause: us!!!

  23. The Greens, Albo and his army of the self-righteous do not lead by example! They live with everything this modern world has to offer, they just don’t want anyone else to have it. I would like to give them a taste of ongoing blackouts, dodgy internet connection, travel restrictions, limited heating and cooling, unreliable cars and their gardens being poisoned from the chemicals being pumped into the atmosphere. They know nothing and act they same way!

  24. I would like to say with the support of a strong interviewer who will protect me & not allow elbow to lie and interrupt me on live National TV: Albo, if net zero is so dear to your heart & you really wish to actively enact it, THEN WHY DON’T YOU VOLUNTEER TO BE THE FIRST TO JUMP OFF THE CLIFF, IN OTHER WORDS END YOU LIFE RIGHT HERE & NOW AS AN EXAMPLE TO EVERYONE ( we breathe out approx 23% CO2 with every breath ) but not before begging all your supporting politicians who agree with net zero to do the same. End of argument. These people are stooges who are hell bent on taking the money while they wreck the entire country & laugh while they do it. They inflict untold suffering & pain on the population. They obviously do not see themselves as criminals but millions of constituents see them as belonging behind bars for life.

  25. Lyle would be lucky to get an inquiry as I doubt he would get the backing. The Editor told me tonight that Pauline H has had electoral fraud perpetrated against her before, so I doubt she’s much chop, because she is firmly entrenched in the corporate world, as attested by her presence a Gina Rinehart dinner soirees and suchlike. It seems lie the game might be up, anyway, as the fuel supply crisis extending much longer will see the country run into the ground and likely everything just stop. And the PTB, given their betrayals over the decades, don’t give a rat’s about Aussies anyway, so our demise would not bother them one bit. The ABC’s “If You’re Listening” show tonight (Friday 17) detailed the gas sell-out perpetrated by the likes of Bob “The Fabian” Hawke, who negotiated ongoing contracts to sell out gas to Japan, who sell it at inflated prices when the markets boom whilst we are contracted to sell our gas at the lower price, forever ,basically, missing out on the windfalls that come and go. What suckers we are then-and the Norwegian instance, where even the kids have $130k+ in their bank accounts from the resource tax there, was also mentioned:

    So what a bunch of dummies we have been, thinking that governments are our friends, though the sorely learnt lesson has kicked in with the current fuel crisis. I have even heard that t was a DEW attack, which would not surprise me, as I was sent photos of two such aircraft parked at Australian aerodrome facilities.
    And watching Channel 8’s Black Saturday bushfires show last night, I couldn’t help wondering why nearly all the houses were flattened, but not charred.
    And a little about the weather-and not form the Bureau, either:

  26. The author quotes Lyle Shelton – “… We need answers to some very serious questions… And why were Australians not told the truth?”

    FFS folks.
    Seriously? These are the questions being asked?
    They don’t work for us and they don’t answer to us. Their sealed orders come from their foreign handlers and owners, the same LOCKSTEP instructions going to EVERY fake sold-out paid-off “government” in EVERY Western nation all around the world, and the common folk have no say in the matter. We literally have no say in anything beyond how many extra bum wipes the pollies get to enjoy this week. No say in anything, period.
    And while we’re all running around in starving impoverished disenfranchised circles calling for ever more “investigations” and “inquiries” and “Royal Commissions” and other such shambolic rolling utterly pointless BS, no one actually does anything to STOP these craven sold-out paid-off racketeering mongrel arsehole bastards, much less string every last one of them up to lamp posts where they BELONG.
    Any more questions?
    A TRILLION dollars, folks, that’s $30,000 for every man, woman, child & baby in Australia.
    Barely even pocket change to the typical sold-out paid-off pollie or unelected beauracrat or public official or corporate bigwig or blood-sucking bankster of course, so really, why should any of THEM give a rat’s arse?
    No really, $30,000 is less than a week’s worth of walking talking pig’s arse AnAL’s and his herd of Satanic piglet’s latest self-awarded annual taxpayer-funded pay rise, and any increased costs will be automatically indexed into their obscene taxpayer-funded parliamentary salaries & benefits & allowances & pensions anyway, so why in the Hell would ANY of this be of the slightest concern to the likes of THAT low-life scheming two-faced double-dealing rat bastard?
    So suck it up, folks. And enjoy.

  27. “Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will join a virtual meeting of world leaders tonight to discuss how to secure the Strait of Hormuz, once conflict in the region has ended.

    About 40 leaders are expected to join the summit chaired jointly by the United Kingdom and France.” — ABC

    I suppose it comes down to negotiating with whoever wins the war; the aggressors or the defenders.

    I can’t see Gulf royalty losing out, as they don’t have all their eggs invested in the sands.

    Good to see Albo isn’t burning the last of our kero.

    Hopefully reality is hitting home to Albo, that the very large majority of Australians drive cars and trucks and tractors and buses and mine with machinery and fly on jets and ferry on vessels powered by petroleum products and electricity generated by hydro, coal and gas, prefer it that way and vote.

    The Strait of Hormuz has become another Nord Stream, where the benefactor was the U.S. selling its expensive gas to Europe; and now trying to impose its petroleum products on the world’s consumers.

    Nord Stream is making an indemnity claim against Lloyd’s and Arch Insurance for 580 million Euros in damages caused to Nord Stream 1.

    Insurance the attack on twin towers, makes me wonder the attacks on buildings in southwest Asia.

    Who benefits?

    The gravy train can be derailed.

  28. All the authorities are lying so much that not much of what they say makes any sense.
    As I wrote elsewhere DuPonts made the Ozone Hole and this was followed up with Swissy’s Global scam of Global Warming.
    Who is really making money from batteries, is it Lord Muck or the world’s 3rd biggest chemical company ( Du Ponts, early 2000’s split up ).
    I would be in favout of wind power but this is such a balls-up it is in no way acceptable except as very small experimental installs.
    Solar is ok privately owned especially on factory and office rooves, it’s not for the state to install on paddocks.
    The state will find a way to screw it up, &/or in Victoria’s case, rip out billions in kickbacks.
    Terry McCrann should be able to understand economics after writing in “The Hun” or whatever it was, for some years.
    Inflation is caused by dollar devaluation, that is, over-printing.
    The banks are allowed to expand the total money available via credit, as well as the government by “borrowing”.
    Government borrowing went exponential after Keating and Howard sold everything off.
    The money creators are adding assumed future earnings to the pool of credit and the Arabs don’t believe it so the oil price goes up.
    The crooked RBA pretends to “tame inflation” when it is already created and let loose years before.
    In fact they are to some extent taming WAGE inflation by creating recessions – and that’s all they intend to do.
    What they are fundamentally doing is following the US bond rate, which sets out the general trend of Australian interest rates.
    The RBA simply tweaks, and a few people lose their house because they borrowed too much.
    Shareholders of the RBA are other banks, so the RBA delivers them as much profit as possible.
    Don’t hold your breath waiting for the M$M to present this type of information to you, they never will.
    Emperor’s new clothes has nothing on this lot, we are governed by liars and frauds, with an endless supply of forelock-tugging minions at their service.

  29. Trump is not happy with Australian Government because:
    1. They only spend 3% on Defence
    2. They appear to be siding with Iran, and
    3. They are “in bed” with China.

    All this despite the USUKA Agreement, the membership of the “QUAD” and hosting American Marines and B52’s in NT.

    Now our Army is going woke (DEI), the Net Zero disaster will set us back another Trillion $$$’s, our fuel supply is the sewer and our “leaders” don’t have any answers, while they try to manage a “soft landing” of our hushed up economy.

    Has anyone else noticed, some are saying, we have the Government we deserve?

  30. One thought on “Inquiry call into trillion-dollar economic disaster that is net zero”… Where is it.????
