Treasurer Jim Chalmers and Finance Minister Katy Gallagher have announced a budget deficit of $26.9 billion amid a surge in spending by the Albanese government.
- 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’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

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

Last year I released a set of policies designed to hold the establishment to account. These are:
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 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.
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!
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.
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:
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.”
Senator Rennick resigns from the Liberal National Party
05/09/2024
Last week, I resigned from the Liberal National Party so that I could could seek re-election to the Senate at the next Federal election, because I am committed to keep fighting for your interests on the floor of Parliament.

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.

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.
The BOM changes weather records making it impossible to track
29/05/2024
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And that process is continuing day be day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except the endless present in which the party is always right.”
Will you be paying for someone else’s EV charging?
28/05/2024
Where will charging stations be built and who is going to pay for them? At the last round of estimates I asked the Albanese government who is going to build and pay for charging stations to be installed across the country, in particular how much are taxpayers going to be on the hook for.
We must assess the risks & benefits of climates change vs renewables on flora & fauna
22/05/2024
When I asked the Environment Department about whether or not they had done a total all-of-Australia environmental assessment on the impact of renewables, I was told that they only do project-by-project assessments.
Farmers may have to pick up the tab for dismantling renewables

I’m working on a range of issues currently in the Senate however I need your support so that my other Parliamentary colleagues know that these are issues that you feel strongly about.
Remember that we are stronger in numbers!
