Energy Co are pathological liars!
Energy Co’s ‘CONsultation’ process is a farce—predatory, intimidating, and fake.
They don’t listen because they never intended to.

These transmission lines exist to benefit billionaire investors, not everyday Australians. They destroy the public good to enrich private empires.

Message
Predatory Energy Co is putting Australia’s productive base under siege with these Energy Poverty plans.

With power prices skyrocketing and grid stability vanishing, manufacturing, mining, farming—our backbone industries—are being methodically destroyed.

Message
This is a fake green, rip-off solution for a fake green, vested interest manufactured crisis.

Building more transmission lines for unreliable "renewables" that don’t deliver power on demand is scientifically illiterate and strategically suicidal.

Message
This CCP CONtrolling project would embed strategic vulnerabilities into Australia’s grid—turning energy from a national asset into a sabotaging national liability.

This totally unnecessary plan is Unjustified, Unwanted, UnAustralian!
There is no proven need for these transmission lines. They serve no public good—only the private interests of transnational parasites.

Parasitic Energy Co’s Fake Green plans have no Australian benefit - bringing invasive weeds, biosecurity breaches, permanent scarring of prime agricultural land—ecocide under the banner of decarbonisation and major misery for the public.

Energy Co is Destroying What Keeps the Lights On.
Reliable coal and nuclear would secure Australia’s future, but instead we get a dangerous fantasy of intermittent energy and subsidised grid failure for CCP benefit.

Message
Dodgy, deceitful Energy Co are planning a blueprint for Grid collapse!
Built on ideological fantasies for the CCP, they ignore all engineering fundamentals and are a disgrace to every principle of responsible energy planning and energy security.
