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.

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?
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.
RBA will support tyrannical premiers but won’t support infrastructure construction
23/05/2024
It beggars belief that the RBA could print $300 billion to pay people to stay at home and get brainwashed by State Premiers but not actually set about funding our Australia’s infrastructure which would actually solve our productivity crises which is what is driving inflation.
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.
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.
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.
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.
How may cars will be allowed? There is no plan for EV charging stations
14/03/2024
The government is subsidising people with our taxes to buy electric cars but yet cannot say how they are going to build the charging stations to ensure people can charge their vehicles.
Labor & Greens won’t support an inquiry into renewables

Labor lies again. They promised us transparency.
14/06/2023
Here is another broken promise or lack of transparency. In an earlier set of estimates, I asked the acting environment minister, Senator McAllister, just how many kilometres of transmission lines we need to reach 82 per cent of renewables by 2030.
Why are Labor/The Greens sticking a tax on Australian companies, sending jobs offshore?
28/03/2023
Last week the Labor party passed the Safeguard mechanism. This is without a doubt the most destructive bill ever passed during my time in the Senate.
Why is the government giving rich people up to $30,000 to drive electric cars?
29/11/2022
If renewables are cheaper, why do we need to give a tax break of up to $30,000 for every new EV that is bought? That is absolutely absurd.
40 different models to determine Net Zero – The science isn’t settled
08/09/2022
It’s interesting that in my first ever Senate inquiry—it was a Senate inquiry into the Great Barrier Reef—my first ever question, to the Australian Institute of Marine Science, was: ‘Do you have a database of all the health KPIs relating to the reef that demonstrates a change or a trend from 1980?’ That’s when they first started recording data…
Renewables are not environmentally friendly
08/09/2022
It is well known that wind farms kill millions and millions of birds and bats. They kill apex birds. They kill lots and lots of bats. Many people probably don’t know that bats, along with bees, are one of the major pollinators in our environment.
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

Take Note: Net Zero & Jobs
01/07/2021
I will tell you what our policy is, by the way, when it comes to energy: it is cheap and reliable energy that is going to create jobs in the manufacturing sector—not in the imports, not in the cost sector, creating energy; no. We had the world’s cheapest energy from the world’s best coal when Labor came to power in 1990…
MPU: Gas Industry
01/07/2021
The Morrison government has committed billions and billions of dollars to renewable energy—not the least $10 billion in the Clean Energy Fund; $5 billion in the Snowy Hydro; $3.5 billion for the Climate Solutions Package; $2.5 billion for the Emissions Reduction Fund; $1.5 billion for the Australian Renewable Energy Agency; $1 billion for the Grid Reliability Fund, which has now become another fund; and $0.5 billion for the Hydrogen Strategy. That comes to about $24 billion all up.
MPU: Climate & the Federal Budget

The ‘Climate Scientists’ Who Cried Wolf

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.
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.
Energy models overestimate life of renewables while underestimating life of base load energy
29/07/2023
“But when we are producing what’s called the levelised cost of energy, we not costing the whole system, we’re just modelling the “delivered” cost of energy from different technologies. There are a lot of uncertain factors in that.” In estimates
Renewable costings based on fairytale modelling, not actual data
11/06/2023
The phrase “renewables are cheaper” is thrown around like confetti by climate alarmists. Yet scratch the surface and it turns out this claim is based on false assumptions.
Bureaucrats confuse pricing with costing
10/06/2023
In estimates the energy department was caught out confusing pricing and costing.
Just because renewable energy is sold in the middle of the day for nothing or below zero doesn’t make it cheaper.
Why are BOM making 350-500 million iterations to prior weather records at just one station?
12/04/2023
This is an earlier set of questions I put to the Bureau of Meteorology about their homogenisation of weather records, back in May 2021. Why is the Bureau making hundreds of millions of iterations to past weather observations? Why is the
Scientists ignore the fact that gravity plays a role in heating the earth
16/03/2023
What traps convection is gravity. It’s why the surface of the earth is warmer than say the top of Mt Everest. Gravity stops all the molecules in the atmosphere including O2 and N2 from floating off into outer space.
We will need to import batteries
14/03/2023
The Albanese government is spending $224 million of your hard earned dollars for 400 community batteries.
Will energy consumers get bang for buck? More gold plating for renewables
08/03/2023
It’s amazing how the government is happy to lend to the big end of town at concessional rates, while allowing the RBA to shaft the little guy with rapid interest rate rises.
Is Australia already at Net Zero?
06/03/2023
Since then Australia has reduced its CO2 emissions from over 600 million tonnes to less than 500 million tonnes. So we are closer to absorbing four times more CO2 than we emit.
Net Zero 2030: $500 Billion & costs have gone up 20%
25/02/2023
In 2017 the CSIRO said it would cost $1 trillion dollars to convert the energy grid to 100% renewables. Then last year they claimed the costs had dropped by 50% or a lazy $500 billion despite rampart inflation.
Scientists should always be the best skeptics
20/12/2022
At the moment, much of research literature, as you probably will be frustrated by, is behind a paywall. You want to access information, and it’s fantastic that you are so interested in this, and be able to really dig in to really get an understanding.
Labor is subsidising electric vehicles, but there’s no plan for charging stations
