I have just read a report from National Public Radio in the US that huge tech companies are aggressively developing data projects in Australia because there is so much resistance to them in the US.
We need to show them that we don’t want their greedy, water-stealing and energy-consuming (subsidised by local Aussies), ugly and noisy buildings. They will create no jobs and all the profits go back to the one per cent in the US.
They are also part of developing the ‘surveillance state’. Since it appears Albanese (and the LNP and One Nation) and Minns are all on board to sell out Australia to Big Tech we need to organise like we did to stop the fracking in the Northern Rivers. One data centre has already been stopped near Sydney so it can be done.
