AEMO plans an attack
on regional living
Sir, ‘The buffalo theory’. . .The Lions control the majority, whilst attacking the minority’
AEMO (Australian Energy Market Operator) with the support of the Australian Labor Party continue to be the coward villain, hiding under the cover of their inner-city streets and mainstream media, where they are passive aggressively threatening ‘blackouts’ as result of the ‘hottest/driest on record’ (with 200 years of records in a 4.5 billion year existence) whilst attacking the minority.
On the city streets AEMO prides itself on ‘community engagement’. Where in reality they are infiltrating their sickening culture into regional lives like a modern day totalitarian state ran by Premier Jacinta Allan.
With actions like removing regional landowners rights to challenge their land being taken away from them at VCAT, or her Minister Lily D’Ambrosio changing laws to ensure their unethical agenda can be fast tracked and not legally stopped all whilst claiming to be ministers of a democratic government?
Minister D’Ambrosio recently told me that she isn’t aware of any concerns that have been raised by regional communities over her forced roll out.
AEMO comes into our regional communities not to listen, but to be seen, not to communicate, but to dictate with comments like ‘...this transmission line is going to happen, regardless of whether you like it or not’, ’where can we spend some money to help you accept that?’.
The helpless cries that come from the mothers and fathers, kids and neighbours in the regional communities that will be destroyed in this foiled project is a clear ‘NO’.
No, I don’t want you to take my property, No, don’t ruin my life, No, I don’t want your money. In any other civil setting NO is a negative used to express dissent or refusal. In a workplace, it would be bullying or harassment to not stop when someone says no, the perpetrator would lose their employment.
But when the perpetrator is AEMO with the backing of the Labor government and you live in regional Australia, when you say NO, what is happening is that you are losing your community, your business, your job, your neighbours and your home. All whilst the perpetrator looks you dead in the eye with a big grin on their face and say, ‘It’s going ahead, whether you like it or not’.

Health service mergers
Sir, Mergers are mergers, no matter how they’re framed.
The Nationals have launched a petition www.handsoffourhospitals.com.au and we urge you to support it.
Regional health services are in crisis, with 22 out of 23 operating in deficit.
Elective surgeries are being cut, and ambulance services are failing to meet critical targets due to insufficient resources.
Patients are enduring over 24-hour waits in emergency rooms and hospitals are being told to turn the lights off to save on power bills.
Healthcare cuts, job losses, and mega-mergers are not the answers regional Victoria needs.
Join us in demanding better. Stand with us and fight for regional Victoria.
Labor can’t manage money, can’t manage our healthcare system and regional Victorians are paying the price.
Peter Walsh
Leader of the Nationals
