The applicant has failed to provide legally enforceable financial guarantees or definitive resolution paths for protection from lethal hydrogen fluoride gas plumes, long-term hazardous waste management, battery recycling capacity, decommissioning costs and a guarantee.

If the operating entity undergoes future ownership changes or ceases trading, these staggering environmental liabilities will inevitably fall entirely upon local councils and community taxpayers.

Australia must follow the strategic lead of the United States by banning critical infrastructure linked to hostile foreign regimes, focusing instead on permanent, asset-backed base load coal and sovereign nuclear investments.

Proponents claim this project benefits consumers, yet the government’s own signature CSIRO GenCost reporting on whole-of-system integration expenses proves that traditional baseload coal remains a far more cost-effective anchor for our grid.

This "renewaBULL" agenda is entirely artificial, surviving solely on market manipulation and ripping off hard-working Australians through hidden taxpayer subsidies.

Rather than wasting billions on short-lived infrastructure that bankrupted operators abroad, we should invest in the multi-generational reliability of baseload coal and high-density nuclear power.

This toxic contaminating and energy poverty BESS is against Australia’s Best Interests and NOT for the Greater Good!

This BESS JUNK is:->
UNCLEAN,
UNREGULATED,
POISONOUS,
INCAPABLE,
INSECURE,
UNSAFE,
SHORT TERM,
A SUBSIDISED RIP-OFF,
A PARASITE,
DESIGNED TO MANIPULATE THE MARKET,
CAUSE of SKYROCKETING ELECTRICITY PRICES and
COST OF LIVING CRISIS!

AUSTRALIANS DESERVE AUSTRALIAN COAL as well as a NUCLEAR POWER FUTURE instead of this CCP CONtrolling, INSECURE JUNK!

The marketing of this grid-scale battery as environmentally friendly is completely false given that recent scientific research reveals lithium-ion batteries are riddled with persistent "forever chemicals" (PFAS).

Furthermore, independent expert analysis of global disasters—like the Moss Landing BESS fire—demonstrates that cathode metal deposition in local ecosystems can be vastly worse than a radioactivity spill because these highly toxic heavy metals cannot be easily tracked or localised with a simple Geiger counter.
Forcing such a severe pollution threat directly onto the scenic Waterfall Way highland environment and nearby agricultural land would be an ecological travesty.

The utter stupidity and dishonesty of this Fire hazardous BESS catastrophe waiting to happen - just shows that the rotten NSW Government and bureaucratic zealots are determined to harm the public, destroy our food growing land, water and biodiversity forever as well as wreck Intergenerational equity and ensure there’s no productivity - so must be sacked!

This BESS DUMP IS ALL PAIN and NO GAIN!
Why is the rotten NSW Government so determined to POISON Australian Agriculture, our vital water sources, precious biodiversity and the public by prioritising such predatory BESS parasites?!😡🤢🤑🤮

What a terrible, toxic disaster!
The sooner the UNI-Party gets the boot the better!
VOTE ONE NATION FOR RELIABLE, AFFORDABLE AUSTRALIAN COAL and NUCLEAR POWER instead of CHINA’S RENEWABULL TROJAN HORSE for their ASEAN POWER GRID AGENDA!

Nobody with any common sense would ever plan such dangerous and incapable junk with such detrimental consequences for human life and Australia’s environment and economy.

NO WAY, this is a despicable, poisonous scam!
