Australia doesnt have enough fresh water for that nonsense
There’s one being built in the South Australian desert as well. The arsehole building it said they’re ’going to leverage existing supply’
So it’s already started and on the Great Artesian Basin as well
We don’t fucking want em here

Yep, maybe they didn’t see the irony.
When they say Australia’s ambitions, who exactly are they talking about?
Don’t you mean “AI factories”, ABC?

Because we can’t wait for giant techno leeches covering the face of the Earth.
Apparently not, no.
Watch our dogshit major party politicians plug this shit as us being a T3cHnOLoGy HuB.
Pretty sure one from South Australia already did over the one they’re building in the desert
I’ve just put up a post on Aussie Enviro about the SA proposal.
Awesome I’ll go look at that cheers
The internet is shit here. Don’t bother
Gonna be fucking hilarious when they hit the reality of Australian internet
