some people in “agriculture are prepared to take away choice from farmers who want to host renewables and make money from it… I am just shocked that it’s not held to account.”

hosting renewables- average $40,000 per wind turbine per annum or $1,200 per hectare for a solar farm – could “drought proof” their business.

It is the party for mining - not farmers, not rural and regional communities -mining, evidenced by the consistent promotion of policies that massively benefit Rinehart herself.
Those policies will now include a swag of US-inspired measures such as slashing the public service and corporate tax rates, and placing oligarchs much closer to government where they can step out from behind the curtain and control the parliament and the nation directly.

Public would probably like to think these processes are considered and methodical, driven by data and consultation and experts, and often they are.
But not always. Politics plays a considerable role as well and sometimes, politics is all that happens. Thought bubbles and lobbyists and mates converge to generate truly shit legislation and outcomes.
I believe that's what's occurred with the twin actions of dumping gambling ad reform and subsequently ramming through social media bans. Don't know this for a fact, wasn't there, but it stinks of bad polls and panic and desperation and Australian democracy at its worst.

Do children have an unassailable implied right to political free speech under the Australian constitution?
With the enormous cash of commercial social media platforms behind the argument, we may be about to find out the answer and High Court precedent is a resounding, 'Yes.'
Pity the poor teachers who try to shut down a smart-arse if that one gets through, or a government that attempts to stand in the way of a child lead Climate Change protest.
