I object to the total lack of genuine, transparent consultation regarding this totally unacceptable, dangerous and deadly BESS plan.

Where’s the Risk Research from the sneaky, underhanded, authoritarian Government and the Independent factual analysis from trusted experts without vested interests - regarding the realistic risks, emergency procedures and long-term, irreversible impacts?

What about the Cyber Security Nightmare the Government is creating by treacherously implementing China’s Energy Dream?

Consultation requires more than informing residents after obnoxious plans like this have already been decided AGAINST OUR WILL - WITH NO SOCIAL LICENCE.

The claimed emissions benefits of this highly hazardous BESS are unsubstantiated and false.

Where’s the independent expert, peer reviewed evidence proving this - with the complete lifecycle analysis that includes manufacturing in China, transport from China, unregulated importation of poisonous PFAS in BESS, short term replacement, unplanned for/impossible disposal/recycling of toxic components and associated infrastructure impacts.

Emissions reductions must be demonstrated rather than assumed as all of the other aspects of the National Electricity Law objective - safety, reliability, quality and security are defied by this filthy, incapable BESS.

The whole RenewaBULL SWINDLE including this Ticking Time Bomb BESS ignores Grid Security and National Energy Resilience.

We object that there has been no due diligence and no thorough examination of the plethora of life threatening risks by the authoritarian government.

Reliance on incapable, insecure, China reliant large-scale battery infrastructure introduces extreme system vulnerabilities.

Critical Electricity infrastructure requires immediate assessment by ASIO of National Security risks and independent expert analysis of multiple failure scenarios, very real threats to human life, bad actor replacement requirements and long-term resilience.

This obnoxious BESS plan totally lacks reputable, independent verification of the proponent’s claims.

We object that reliance on consultant reports commissioned by the proponent does not provide adequate community confidence where significant risks have not been diligently researched at all.

Independent Expert Peer Review must be required for critical safety, environmental and emergency management matters.

The environmental assessment is a complete failure as it doesn’t even examine the complete lifecycle of this experimental, highly toxic rubbish - including unethical extraction of raw materials, slave labour linked manufacturing, insecure supply chain transportation, dangerous operation and unplanned for, uneconomical and unsafe disposal.

Partial assessments like this majorly understate the true environmental footprint and the dire cyber security risks have also been totally ignored.

The Agricultural and regional character assassination this filthy BESS would cause is disgusting!
Nobody wants predatory parasites dumping their POISONOUS RUIN-A-BULL JUNK everywhere!

The community must not be expected to absorb such horrendous landscape changes and contamination disasters like this when it’s all pain and no gain - with no public benefit.

We object to this non-sensical, unclean, unethical and totally irresponsible proposal as it fails to protect Intergenerational Equity and adhere to the Precautionary Principle.

Current decisions must protect environmental quality for future generations.
Long-term, irreversible toxic impacts, liabilities and irreversible changes to land use have not been factually considered.

I Object on the following grounds:
• It is destructive to native flora and fauna and harmful to the public;
• Construction will leave a legacy of land destruction that is unlikely to be rectified by the builder;
• It is an abomination on the natural landscape;
• It is part of a system that costs billions, does not work reliably and attempts to solve a problem that does not exist, in other words useless and irresponsible use of public funds;
• All such infrastructures should be built at developer’s expense, NOT on public funds. We are told wind and solar are the cheapest, well prove it, remove all subsidises - do not build this system on public funds;
• The TOTAL cost has not been verified by independent experts;
• There is NO verified scientific basis for reduction of CO2 in the atmosphere so this project is a total waste of public money, along with all other such projects.  There is in fact reliable verifiable scientific proof that CO2 is beneficial to plant life and by extension to human life on earth.

There is a complete failure to consider toxic contamination of the land and water during operational life of this hazardous BESS as well as to deal with the long- term toxic waste liabilities.

Insufficient certainty has been provided regarding end-of-life management of lithium-ion batteries and associated equipment.

Future generations should never inherit unresolved waste streams, contamination risks or expensive remediation obligations and Wagga Wagga is certainly dead against that disgusting lithium-ion battery recycling facility the Authoritarian Government and Rotten Wagga Council are trying to force in their midst.

We fiercely object to this filthy BESS scam as we are extremely alarmed about lethal gas plumes, toxic hydrofluoric acid, accidental releases, firewater runoff, damaged equipment and long-term degradation and leakage that will create contamination pathways affecting soil, waterways, surrounding land uses and the public.

The assessment of this toxic disaster must require prior independent risk research and only after that proof of public health and safety as well as demonstrating robust prevention, monitoring and remediation measures as contamination pathways have not even been addressed.
