So there’s a new data centre proposed for Dalby that is going to rely on rain water harvesting to source its water supply.
As someone who has watched farmers have to give up their irrigation licences to “save the environment” how is it that a foreign owned company is going to be allowed to “harvest” water but farmers can’t?
This is a classic example of one rule for wealthy foreigners and another one hard working Australians.
There had better be a lot more transparency around exactly how much water this data centre is going to harvest and what impact will it have on downstream communities like my hometown of Chinchilla!
On top of that Blackout Bowen is insisting Data Centres are powered by renewables rather than coal. Of course this is preposterous as Kogan Creek power station is just down the road from the proposed site. Kogan Creek sits on 400 million tonnes of coal and has a vacant pad for another turbine.
Why would anyone destroy valuable farmland with renewables. It’s just madness.
The obsession with renewables needs to end. People First will abolish all subsidies for renewables and require environmental bonds to paid on existing sites.

“A development application prepared for Zerra DC has been lodged for the Western Downs Digital Park. Once constructed, it will be considered one of Australia’s largest data centres, located at 1933 Dalby–Kogan Road, Kogan (35 km from Dalby).
The data centres would primarily use air-cooled technology, supported by a closed-loop liquid cooling system using rainwater harvesting and treated wastewater.
An on-site battery-backed power conditioning system would also support the development’s electricity requirements and strengthen the local power network. The site’s proximity to existing energy infrastructure is identified as a key factor in its suitability for the development.
WE NEED YOUR HELP.
@PeteZogoulas and I are almost ready to release our 1 hour investigation into potential NDIS fraud. We believe we have compiled shocking evidence of systematic fraud on a scale that would make Minnesota blush.
But we urgently need help.
We need to find a patriotic lawyer who can review our video to help ensure we do not open ourselves up to the risk of defamation.
Australia does not have the same free speech laws as America. It is so much harder here to do investigative journalism because unscrupulous people with a lot of money can initiate defamation proceedings as a kind of SLAPP action - initiating meritless legal action purely designed to intimidate, silence, and financially drain critics.
We have already received three defamation letters from one potential provider in West Sydney.
We urgently need a patriotic lawyer to help review our video so that we can make necessary edits to protect ourselves prior to release.
Please reach out if you can help - if you are a top lawyer or you can help pay for us to get a legal review by a top lawyer.
You would be doing a massive service to our nation.
