Contamination and Waste Management are issues that are being swept under the carpet. It’s time government stop putting renewable energy targets ahead of the nation’s public health and food security. Please refer to attachment for details:

The renewable “hypocrisy” industry currently supports human atrocities in China by the their use of slave labor or next to it and other human rights such as child labor abuses in other countries mining the rare earths required by the renewable industry.
CO² is not a poison; it is a necessity for plant growth, i.e. FOOD.
The hype of a 30 year effective solar farm life span is a “happy face” con. Currently, effective battery life is about ten years with no allowance of deterioration of energy storage calculated into the life span, therefore two if not three sets of batteries for the supposed life of the panels. Contrary to the hype, effective panel life is about twenty five years, with deterioration of energy production over the life span of the panels dropping to about 75/80% of the original design at that point.
Whilst I am sure that the massive quantity of solar panels and batteries will eventually be able to be recycled, currently there are no efficient facilities to recycle either solar or wind farm components, which are already being deposited into council landfill sites with the local ratepayer picking up the cost.
The political hypocrisy of the proponents of alternatives are conveniently ignoring the chain of the required materials: from the prospecting for, the mining of, and the continued supply of the rare earths and metals required to manufacture that are required to create the alternatives. It does not register to the world that most of these rare earths actually come from China. They are called “rare earths” as the reason is that, that is what they are, RARE!
The actual cost of the complete chain has not been publicised. A realistic cost of creating the chain from prospecting the mines, to effective recycling end of life for the components has ever be done or if it has been done, the end result is so financially disastrous that the results have not been released.
The current concept of renewable energy is flawed and challenges all the practical laws of physics
I object to this battery storage system and all other battery storage systems!
it is a practical impossibility to build enough battery storage to be of long term viable reliability
The site of this particular facility is remote and requires massive transmission lines, hence high capital and maintenance costs
The danger of these transmission lines to aerial agriculture. again be it grazing (helicopter mustering) or crop sowing/spraying
The biggest percentage of batteries are manufactured by Chinese controlled slave labour - no acknowledgement of this or embargos on Chinese manufactured components
The irresponsibility of supporting a belligerent aggressive nation that is proving to be a threat to our nation
The majority of rare earths for battery storage centres come from China
Short term life span of batteries
Recycling of batteries and control systems not planned
Heavy metal contamination of land, rendering it dangerous for food production, be that grazing or ag produce
The blind adherence to a confined road to renewable energy without exploring ALL alternatives and pursuing the new technology becoming available

To whom it may concern,
Please find attached 55 unique submissions all of who made submissions through the Gardens of Stone website. These submitters were encouraged to use the Major Project Planning portal but preferred to use the alternative approach offered by the Gardens of Stone Alliance.
Citizens who had reportable political donations were advised to use the Planning portal.
Submitters were asked if they wanted their name withheld and whether they objected to the proposed modifications.
I trust these submissions are in a suitable form to be accepted as unique submissions. Please carefully note those submissions where a person has selected to keep their name withheld and ensure this translates to the Major Projects Portal when they are made public.
Sincerely,
Keith Muir
for the Gardens of Stone Alliance
