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.

Are you concerned that in Australia's race to reach Net Zero by 2050, renewable energy will actually damage the environment rather than protect it?
Farmers may have to pick up the tab for dismantling renewables
14/05/2024
Who will clean up the mess renewables will leave behind? In estimates I asked Labor who is responsible for cleaning up the mess that renewables will leave behind.
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.
This is where water from the Snowy Hydro goes to evaporate away
03/05/2024
Our wealth is evaporating away. Earlier this year I was in South Australia for an inquiry in the closure of bank branches in the regions. On the way back from Kingston SE I stopped at the lower lakes to film just how shallow these lakes are.
How to spot a fire ant nest. Eradication programs aren’t working
23/04/2024
At the recent Senate fire ant inquiry I asked some questions on fire ants. The key takeaway for me is that they can live underground and travel on water and in the air.
Labor thinks it’s funny that I ask for evidence on climate change
22/04/2024
Labor are it yet again, caught out being unable to provide evidence on climate change. Despite mentioning climate change on multiple occasions throughout RRAT estimates, when I asked for further evidence on what exactly this mysterious climate change is, all I got was a clown show from the circus otherwise known as the Labor party.
PM Albanese & Chris Bowen take 2 jets to the same event
02/04/2024
Albanese and Bowen are out of touch with the everyday Australian. Not only that they are hypocrites for claiming to care about reducing CO2 emissions.
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
27/11/2024
I recently gave a speech in the chamber where I called out climate change for lacking context.
When it comes to the details of climate science, no one can answer my questions
27/11/2024
Last week I asked the Minister representing the Minister for Science how the energy absorbed by an electron (via a photon) inside a carbon dioxide molecule can subsequently heat up the surrounding atmosphere given an electron has 1,800 times less mass than a proton or neutron.
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.
Australian land belongs to all Australians
20/11/2024
This is a speech I gave calling out the Victorian government for closing down Mt Arapiles, a world famous rockclimbing destination in the name of cultural heritage.
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.

The cost of a transmission line has blown out by $1.5 billion!
24/02/2025
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.
The taxpayer shouldn’t need to subsidise renewables if they’re better and cheaper
