Saving the Planet or Destroying It? The Ugly Truth

While I agree that protecting our natural environment is a duty of government, I completely disagree with Senator Pocock’s definition of "protection." The rush toward net zero is not saving our environment; it's state-sponsored vandalism. Here is the reality of what net zero is doing to Australia: ✖️ Creating unmanaged havens for pests that will devastate native flora and fauna while destroying food production because of “carbon-dioxide farming.” ✖️ 205,000 hectares of farmland and native forests will be required to be cleared for wind turbines, 1.25 billion solar panels installed and the carving out of 20,000 kilometres of 75-metre-wide transmission easements through national forests. ✖️ Transmission line costs have blown out from an initial $8.5 billion estimate to upwards of $120 billion, and likely over $200 billion. When you add the generators, the total net zero cost sits at around $350 billion. Financed with high-cost loans over 35 years, this will ultimately burden taxpayers with a bill exceeding $1 trillion. I have stood in these forests myself. I have seen developers blowing the tops off mountains to install massive concrete turbine bases. Offshore wind is no better. Data shows these marine turbines slow the wind, trap heat at the sea surface, disrupt marine life (including whales) with sediment and noise, shed microplastics and kill birds. It’s not possible for anyone to look at Australia's beautiful landscapes scarred with wind turbines, solar panels, access roads and transmission lines and think: no damage here; this is beautiful? No, it's not. It's vandalism. We cannot put the tops back on the mountains that have been destroyed by this insanity. This is literally killing the environment to save it. One Nation will protect our beautiful landscapes from net zero vandalism. One Nation is the true party of the environment.
