Gina Rinehart says “A very important culture could flourish again if we also offered free land for the Israelis"

Since posts, especially video threads require an obligatory take on them as a dumb c# I'll do my best.

First off, all I can articulate RN is that I feel like this can't be real and there are a hundred things wrong with this but foremost the fact that the wealthiest people in this country are continuously given the loudest megaphones.

However since this is about national security, let me address her specific argument.

I believe that time of conflict our most crucial piece of national infrastructure is our national power grid, the power generation needed to feed it along with our internal transport sector.

When you centralise the generation of power the form of nuclear, whether that be 5 larger plants or 20 smaller nuclear plants. In a time of conflict these plants would be numero uno on the list of assets to knock out for which we would not stand a chance in defending (Israel tech or not) when it comes to advances in drone warfare in 2026 let alone going forward.

Compare that black and white scenario to said adversaries trying to knock out thousands of clean energy generation points, even millions of generation points when you take home solar batteries into account across Australia. Additionally, a few years down to road when we have further electrified our transport sector it will be even harder to disrupt the energy independence we need in order to uphold our nation's sovereignty.

End rant.
