Snowy Hydro has conceded it may miss its 2028 deadline for finishing the Snowy 2.0 project and revealed its “disappointing” Italian contractor Webuild could suffer losses depending on the size of a major budget blowout.
“The end of 2028 is not feeling comfortable,” Mr Barnes told The Australian on Thursday. “That’s probably that.”
However, Mr Barnes disagreed with Webuild handing itself a high rating.
“They’ve been a bit disappointing,” the Snowy chief executive said. “There’s been lots of things that they’ve had to deal with. They are pretty engaged with us. But it’s been challenging for them and it’s been challenging for us. Could they have done a better job? Probably.”
Asked to elaborate, Mr Barnes said: “I think that’s probably best left to when we announce the new cost.”
It's time to end the $40 billion+ Snowy 2.0 and Net Zero Scam.

中美对标
The Australian government is using the UN refugee visa program to intentionally bring radical Islam into our country.
25,000 migrants arrived under the UN refugee program last year, the vast majority coming from Muslim countries. Applications from Christian refugees in Nigeria and South Africa, as well as Syrian Alawites, were excluded.
The president of the Australian National Imams Council, Shadi Alsuleiman (and mentor to Wisam Haddad, the ISIS cell leader who radicalised the Bondi terrorist Naveed Akram) released a video in which he promises that "Islam will enter every home in Australia."
Australians have a legitimate reason to fear the current government's immigration policies.
Want to know where your taxpayer dollars are going in Australia?
West Sydney businessman Jamal Sabsabi charged the Australian taxpayer $340,000 for PHANTOM 24/7 disability services to PRISONERS sitting in JAIL CELLS.
He appears to have signed up dozens of prisoners across Sydney’s jails, presumably through kick backs to the prisoners or their families.
He then billed the government for 24/7 disability care support, which the Australian government proceeded to pay with no questions asked.
Jamal’s company, Freedom Care Group, was the only NDIS provider ever listed on the Australian stock market - the ASX. They managed to raise $3.2 million from investors while running this prisoner harvesting scheme.
This fraudulent prisoner-harvesting scheme would still be going on today were it not for a courageous whistleblower who alerted the NDIA.
His company was shut down by the government for fraud but the NDIS decided not to ban him as an individual.
To this day, there is no NDIS banning order on Jamal Sabsabi. He has never been charged or prosecuted for the prisoner harvesting scheme.
He continues to enjoy his $5 million bayside mansion despite the trail of destruction he left in his wake.
And now he’s back working in the NDIS with a new business.
What a system! @PeteZogoulas
The Australian government's decision to provide $370 million in aid to Myanmar has sparked debate about the balance between international obligations and domestic priorities. Critics argue that such a significant sum should be redirected to address pressing issues at home, including housing affordability, healthcare wait times, and cost-of-living relief for struggling Australians.
Supporters of foreign aid maintain that Australia has a responsibility to contribute to regional stability and humanitarian relief, particularly in neighbouring countries experiencing conflict and crisis. They argue that foreign aid serves strategic interests and strengthens diplomatic relationships. The debate reflects a recurring tension in Australian politics between investing in global development and addressing domestic needs. Citizens increasingly demand greater transparency about how aid money is spent and whether it achieves meaningful outcomes for recipient communities.

More Australian taxpayers' money to be shipped off shore.
NEW AUSTRALIAN NDIS DISABILITY FRAUD INVESTIGATION with @PeteZogoulas. This is Minnesota-style fraud on a national scale.
We found a voodoo style witch doctor who continues to operate Australian taxpayer funded disability services despite the fact that she remains under investigation for the death of a participant in suspicious circumstances.
We also discovered a massive PRISONER HARVESTING SCHEME where a West Sydney businessman named Jamal Sabsabi charged the Australian taxpayer $340,000 for PHANTOM DISABILITY SERVICES to PRISONERS sitting in JAIL CELLS.
Shockingly, we found Jamal Sabsabi simply started a new company right after being exposed for this prisoner scam.
When we barged into his new business to confront him, we found a new West Sydney businessman sitting in his place with a gigantic golden leopard statue on his desk worth thousands of dollars.
Josef Yousif at first denied that Jamal worked at the new office, before admitting he had “hired” him for his great “experience.”
Upon investigating Josef, we discovered he operated under at least six different legal names with a combined criminal rap sheet that features over 50 court appearances.
This is seriously one of the worst run government programs anywhere in the world.
We are talking about tens of billions of dollars in fraud and absolutely vile organised crime abuse of extremely disabled Australians.
I want to apologise to people who have tried to get in touch with my office and haven’t received a response.
We are being inundated with thousands of calls, emails and messages every week and it’s not possible to respond to all of them.
The Albanese government cut the staff allocation to One Nation after the last election.
I have been going to both the Prime Minister and Special Minister of State Don Farrell since the staff cuts. I have been begging and pleading with them to give us more staff to deal with the heavy workload.
In fact, earlier this year a staff member wrote to the Prime Minister directly, explaining the extreme stress they are under.
Labor hasn’t even responded and couldn’t care less.
My staff have continued out of loyalty, and they want to help the Australian people but their health has now become a serious issue.
As the leader of One Nation, I have 5 Electorate officers and just 2 Parliamentary Advisers.
The Leader of the Greens, Larissa Waters, has 5 electorate officers and 15 Advisers.
The Prime Minister has 59 personal Advisers. Adding his other Ministers, the Government employs a total of 504 personal Advisers.
This is in addition to the 1,200+ employees in the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet alone and 185,000 employed by the Government as bureaucrats in the public service.
This is the Prime Minister using his powers to disadvantage his political opponents who don’t agree with his agenda.
My office deals with people in very difficult situations, complicated family law, immigration, NDIS, veterans and welfare plus many other matters.
The Australian people’s personal struggles are worse than ever – my staff have had to talk people down from the edge of taking their own lives.
Many people come to us because they get absolutely no assistance from the government and many other political offices.
It’s beyond a joke the lack of help that Labor is providing considering I would have one of the busiest political offices in the country.
I didn’t want to air this out in public, but this Albanese government has given me no choice
It’s not that we don’t want to do the work for the Australian people, it’s that we physically can’t.
My staff want to help this country and the people in it, but they’re so stressed they are close to collapsing.
I am the leader of a political party that is polling more than major political parties.
The government has failed to staff One Nation anywhere close to a functional level.
This is pure, bloody-minded politics by the Labor party.
I’ve tried everything I can to help people and will continue to do so, but my hands are tied.
The Labor party like to go on about the battlers. Well I’ve got some in my office trying to do a decent job for many Australians, but they don’t care about them.
A nice chart that puts the budget into visual context.
A less than 7% reduction in NDIS dwarfs the other major changes.
Imagine how low taxes could be if spending wasn’t out of control.
While the rest of the nation gets hit with higher capital gains tax, there’s a special carve-out for foreign investors in renewable energy.
They get to keep the 50% CGT discount at a cost of $425 million to the taxpayer.
Foreign investors already don’t pay Capital Gains tax on shares and intangible assets. Why didn’t Chalmers crack down on them?
The answer of course is that the Labor party, like the Liberal party are controlled by foreign interests.!
But wait there’s more.
Under the capacity investment scheme underwriting agreements, if the actual revenue earned by a project is below the agreed revenue floor, the Australian government will pay the project operator 90 per cent of the revenue shortfall up to the agreed annual cap for 15 yrs. (see comments)
The Labor government will grant “whatever it takes” subsidies to ensure “renewable” energy is a part of the energy grid, no matter the cost to the taxpayer.
But in keeping with the government vibe of transparency the cost of the scheme can’t be disclosed and I quote.
“The CIS is listed in the budget papers as a contingent liability, alongside the Snowy 2.0 hydro electric scheme, which has already blown out in costs by billions.
According to the budget papers, "The Australian government's maximum liability and estimated payments under these (CIS) agreements are not for publication due to commercial sensitivities".
It’s not hard to see why the major parties are struggling. Wasting taxpayers money and refusing to disclose it has to stop.
“New net zero spending measures
Table 3.9 sets out $12.3 billion in new net zero spending commitments over the forward estimates period and $18.2 billion over the medium term, across the 2025-26 MYEFO and this Budget.
This follows net zero spending commitments of $6.9 billion (over the medium term) reported in the 2025-26 Budget, $24.3 billion (over the medium term) in the 2024-25 Budget, climate-related spending of $4.6 billion (to 2030) committed in the 2023-24 Budget and $24.9 billion (to 2030) committed in the October 2022-23 Budget.”
••••••••••••••••••
Don’t be fooled by last nights budget reply where Angus Taylor said he would index the lower tax brackets. It’s too little too late.
The lower tax bracket needs to be removed full stop. It’s absurd that people are taxed below the cost of living. https://t.co/rzwZyRkFsH is the only party that has committed to do this and identified the savings to fund it.
Indexing the lower bracket of $18,200 by 4% will lift it by a measly $728. Applying next years tax rate of 14 cents, that will save you $102. This is no where near enough to adjust for 4% inflation on the poverty line of $45,000 which is $1,800.
If he was serious about cutting taxes, Taylor should have cut spending much harder. There’s at least $10 billion every year wasted on net zero and $10 billion on bureaucrats gold plated pension scheme to name just a few.
These are just two of the many programs People First will slash to cut income tax by $4,000 per annum.
We will also crack down of offshore profit shifting to cut taxes even further.
Peter Stefanovic: “you’re not gonna tax the family home next?”
Prime Minister: “No.”
Peter Stefanovic: “And why would anyone believe you now?”
The PM has created a massive credibility issue for himself!
More revealing reports from the Australian are coming out. Tangentyere Council Aboriginal Corporation executives "doubled their compensation from $645,778 in FY24 to $1,211,517 the following financial year, an almost 100 per cent increase, despite dire town camp living conditions and failures to conduct repairs".
If you're wondering where the $40 billion plus goes....
"No more funding globalist agendas."
Australian senator Malcolm Roberts vows to remove Australia from the WHO, WEF and UN, in a bid "to put Australians first and cut government waste"
It’s time to end the uni party stranglehold on Australia.

What the fuck is wrong with us
An African refugee who sexually abused his niece, 9, has been allowed to stay in Australia after a tribunal found he would lose access to disability support if deported, using immigration minister Tony Burke's Direction 110 to restore his visa.
He has been on the NDIS since 2020 as his IQ is in the lowest percentile.
Buckets of gold, silver and cash have been seized in a series of raids on an alleged NDIS fraud syndicate in Queensland, with a total of $5 million in assets frozen.
