Renewables are bad for the environment
23/11/2023
Labor and the Greens are still refusing to hold an inquiry into the impacts of renewables on our farmland, waterways and National Parks.
- VOTE NOW -
Should the Australian Parliament have a serious discussion around Nuclear Energy considering Australia has enormous stocks of uranium which could provide households and businesses with cheaper power?
We don’t need any more red tape on water management
16/11/2023
I recently spoke against a Greens bill to expand the water trigger powers of the Federal government.
CO2 does not trap heat
16/11/2023
Heat is Kinetic Energy, the energy of motion. So if you were to believe that CO2 “traps” heat, then the actual temperature would drop as temperature is a measure of mean molecular momentum.
Companies forced to report how they are meeting CO2 targets
14/11/2023
One piece of legislation I recently voted against, but was passed by Labor and the Greens, was the introduction of an accounting standard that will force companies to report on their CO2 emissions.
Will we be disadvantaged when calculating net zero models?
26/10/2023
Which model of the 40 models is the right model? The CSIRO can’t say. They just want us to trust them.
We need less inflation & more infrastructure
25/10/2023
In Estimates I asked Treasury why they are allowing building companies to go broke.
The Climate Change Authority doesn’t seem to know much or do much
23/10/2023
Climate change madness isn’t just killing the environment and your wallet.
It’s created a behemoth bureaucracy that doesn’t even know what its own purpose is.
It would appear these bureaucrats are baffled by their own bs.
Is there a toxic chemical in wind turbine blades?
23/10/2023
Bisphenol A is an endocrine disrupter that has been linked to about 80 diseases including cancers and reproductive disorders. It is lethal for young children. In 2012, the World Health Organisation warned about the potentially carcinogenic properties of endocrine disrupters and concluded that they pose a global threat to public health.
Endangered species must be protected from renewable energy construction
23/10/2023
Gotta love it don’t you. They can report national CO2 emissions on a quarterly basis but try asking for a national report on the numbers of endangered species and this is what you get.
$1.5 Trillion to meet our 2050 green targets
23/10/2023
The energy department said in estimates that Australia needs 100GW of renewable energy to reach its 2030 renewable energy target.
Why are community batteries going to inner city suburbs?
23/10/2023
In estimates I asked for the work papers behind the decisions as to where to place community batteries.
Divide & conquer – Labor distracts from their lack of plan to govern
19/10/2023
Labor are clueless when it comes to delivering the things that matter. Chamber: Senate on 6/11/2023Item: QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE: TAKE NOTE OF ANSWERS – Answers To Questions Senator RENNICK (Queensland) (15:55): It’s good to rise and talk about what a debacle
We’re in a per capita recession caused by net zero policies
11/09/2023
Labor are out of control. They need to lower immigration as they are importing a homelessness crisis.
We’re importing renewables instead of using our own energy resources
05/09/2023
In the Senate I spoke about Australia’s flawed energy policy and the climate change hysteria that is behind it.
The deliberate lies and fear mongering needs to end.
Are community batteries worth it?
05/09/2023
After trying to justify expensive taxpayer funded batteries by claiming they were going to be aimed at parts of the electricity system that couldn’t be connected to the grid, it turns out they are being installed in inner city suburbs.

Speeches
We’ve spent billions on climate change for no measurable outcome
27/11/2024
I recently gave a speech in the chamber where I called out climate change for lacking context.
Outrageous bureaucrat waste needs to stop
25/11/2024
Kristin Tilley is Australia’s Ambassador for Climate Change and plays a leading role in Australia’s international climate diplomacy, with a focus on engaging with the Pacific and Southeast Asia.
We must hold the establishment to account
19/11/2024
Last year I released a set of policies designed to hold the establishment to account. These are:
Cutting bureaucracy, regulation & taxes will get industry moving again
09/10/2024
The Gravy Train must end.
“The Government’s $22.7 billion Future Made in Australia package will help facilitate the private sector investment required for Australia to be an indispensable part of the global economy.
If renewables are so cheap then why do they have to be subsidised so much?
11/09/2024
If renewables are cheaper why do the two major parties continue to subsidize them?
“And it’s why under this government the number of EV charging stations has increased to 900…………all of these investments are made with the expectation of a positive risk based return.”
Implementing these policies will put people first
30/08/2024
Earlier this week I spoke to ADH TV about the policies I would like to see implemented by government.
International Energy Agency believes nuclear is the lowest cost energy
20/08/2024
Nuclear technology offers more than just energy, it can be used in medicine as well.
More importantly, Australia has the world’s largest reserves of uranium so why wouldn’t we use it instead of importing renewables.
Billions invested in wind capacity, yet output is the same as 3 years ago
02/07/2024
“Billions of dollars of investment in wind farms over several years have been unable to prevent a “drought” in wind power generation this quarter that has surprised the market and contributed to a squeeze on east-coast gas supplies inflating wholesale prices.
The case for nuclear power
02/07/2024
In the Senate I recently outlined why it is much better to invest in Nuclear power than “renewables.”
• Nuclear has a capacity factor of 92% as opposed to solar and wind which has a capacity factor between 20% and 30%. I.e it is more reliable
The Great Barrier Reef should be controlled by Australia, not UNESCO
02/07/2024
I recently called out UNESCOs threats and fear mongering about the Great Barrier Reef.
It should not be imposing harsh conditions on our farmers and tourist industry in particular in the name of climate change.
The cost of renewables were originally forecast to cost a trillion dollars by the CSIRO
26/06/2024
Seriously! When it comes to renewables, changes in technology have only ever been at the margins.
The idea that the costs of renewables has fallen by half, when inflation is rampant has no credibility.
Albo’s Budget will give you a little bit now, but will cost you a lot more later
16/05/2024
Just a small critique on the direction of the Albanese Labor Government.
Renewables: Higher energy costs, short operating life & more
16/05/2024
The only way to reduce power prices as quickly as possible is to build base load coal fired power stations using home grown resources.
Great Barrier Reef fearmongering creates profits for dishonest scientists
13/05/2024
The Great Barrier Reef is not dying. The only thing that is dying is integrity in our scientific institutions. Back in 2019, at my first ever Senate Inquiry I asked the Australian Institute for Marine Science if they had kept a centralised database of health KPIs based on regular measurements across the length of Reef that demonstrated a trend that demonstrated that the reef was dying.
It’s a bloodbath out there under Albanese & Labor
27/03/2024
High immigration and renewables are causing a cost of living crises. If Albanese was serious about reducing the cost of living crisis he would reduce immigration. Not once have Australians ever asked if they wanted an immigration rate of over 500,000 people.
We’ve spent billions on climate change for no measurable outcome

More Renewable rorts.
Confused how the weather is recorded? You’re not the only one
24/02/2025
The Bureau left grasping for answers.
The BOM routinely changes weather records
08/11/2024
Why haven’t the Bureau executives been sacked?
Apparently the head of BOM has no respect for the senate estimates process
08/11/2024
A whistleblower from the BOM has come forward to criticise its managing director Mr Johnson over his poor leadership.
The ABC needs to report the facts
05/11/2024
In estimates, I chipped the ABC for propagating the fraudulent temperature records being put out by the Bureau of Meteorology.
The head of the Climate Change Authority also works for a renewables investment firm
04/11/2024
Conflict of interest perceptions mean Matt Kean should choose between his job as chairman of the federal government’s Climate Change Authority or working for a private energy transition fund led by a former Macquarie banker, a former top public servant and a fan of the ex-NSW treasurer says.
How on earth are we going to increase our energy output with renewables?
04/11/2024
New data from Cornwall Insight has projected the Australian National Electricity Market (NEM) will increase its solar, wind, and storage capacity by more than 150GW by 2043. According to Cornwall Insight’s NEM Benchmark Power Curve, the total installed capacity for these technologies is expected to rise from 52GW in 2025 to 208 GW by 2043, a 300% increase.
Labor has lent $100 million to a private company to install electric car charging stations
04/11/2024
“Petrol retailing and refining giant Ampol has landed another $100 million from the federal government to help roll out a further 200 electric vehicle fast charging bays by 2025, and to pursue efforts on renewable fuels and other technologies.
The taxpayer shouldn’t need to subsidise renewables if they’re better and cheaper
04/11/2024
The deception and rorts never end.
Renewables can’t just rely on government handouts
04/11/2024
“Does the Climate Change Authority have a figure on getting to the cost of 82% renewables by 2030……..no………surely you should know that number!
Nuclear energy costings should be made public
26/09/2024
Time to use our home grown resources.
Last week I told Tom Connell that I supported the Government owning nuclear power plants for two reasons:
How can one molecule of CO2 heat up 10,000 molecules of N2 and O2 in the atmosphere?
07/08/2024
Long story short, scientists can’t explain how CO2 can transfer significant amounts of heat to the rest of atmosphere because it doesn’t in fact do that. The Greenhouse Gas Effect is a lie.
The head of CSIRO doesn’t even understand his own GenCost report!
01/07/2024
It’s always spin over substance!
1. The Head of the CSIRO is clueless. He clearly only answers questions that suit his narrative and takes everything else on notice. Whatever happened to accountability in answering questions.
How do we know we aren’t at Net zero already?
12/06/2024
In recent decades has been a lot of arguing over the rate of emissions but I have seen very few people actually question the quality of the measurements.
Why did the homogenisation of weather records start in the early 2000s?
29/05/2024
Why did the BOM start fudging records 20 years ago?
Simple.
They needed to create a narrative that the temperature was getting hotter when it actually wasn’t.
