"The rapid rollout of large-scale renewable energy projects—such as industrial-scale wind and solar facilities and high-voltage transmission corridors—is proceeding without genuine community consultation, appropriate planning oversight, or fair assessment of the social, environmental, economic, and personal wellbeing impacts on local residents."
"These developments are causing widespread disruption, land use conflict, diminished property rights, and growing community division."
"Regional Australians are being asked to bear a disproportionate burden for a national emissions target that privileges ideological and foreign corporate interests over the livelihoods, land stewardship, and long-term sustainability of local communities."
"A significant number of these developments are backed by foreign investors and billionaire entities whose primary interest is in accessing generous federal subsidies—not in contributing to long-term regional development or energy security."
"Furthermore, the Net Zero policy has become a principal driver of Australia’s rising cost of living."
