Good morning and welcome to Rural Queensland today. Ben Dobin with you this morning and it is the 17th of September, Thursday morning across Rural Queensland today. A very good morning to everybody listening to us through the Resonate Broadcast Network, Ruforis B. in King Arroy, Fawzett Aron Ramer, 4VL in Charleville, 4H Iron Emerald, 4LM Mount Isar, 4LG Longreach, 4GC Charters, Towers, the Huck Country Network, good morning to you. Well, there's a lot going on this morning throughout Rural and Regional Queensland and we've got a big show for you this morning. We'll catch up with Glen Kelly, the MP very shortly around that absolute diabolical wind farm decision. We'll also talk with Jim Wilmite Plus, give you some sail records, is to Wumba Ready for an NRL team I'll weigh in on that as well. It's a big show with a lot to get through. This is Rural Queensland today and you're with Ben Dobin on this Thursday morning, the 7th of September across the Resonate Broadcast Network. Welcome back to Rural Queensland today. We start the show with the member from Arani,

Glen Kelly, who joins us after this absolute complete mockery of an approval for the Moor Creek wind farm. The community consultation process that this federal government talk about and the EPBC approval process is almost laughable. This has been going on for some time and we've got to call it out just what is actually going on. Glen Kelly, good morning. Thank you so much for giving us some time on Rural Queensland today. I don't know if I can, I'm gonna try my hardest not to swear, but it is an absolute dog's breakfast, what has occurred around this. And this is just a complete nutter embarrassment to a process that was trying to give people and landholders some hope that their voice would be heard. Well, that way, it's good morning to you. Good morning to listeners, but welcome to the dark side of Renewal Queensland. These developers were sneaking around

in our community in 2017 and then popped up in 21 and said, well, this is what we, which is what we're gonna do, showing Max and that in then 2022. October 2022 with a whole full of people. They said, well, we don't have to be here, but this is what we're gonna do. And here we are 2026. And we've received the Federal EPPC approval, which come through last week for the Mall Creek Winfarm. And you know, you talk about AUO K, Day last Thursday. And we received this through media on Friday. Are you serious? No one even got the respect to even let you know about it. Well, as a member for the State member, I would have thought someone might let us know, but no, we received it at three o'clock Friday afternoon that the EPPC approval had come through. And because that's how they roll these follows. But yeah, you talk about AUO K,

well, there was a lot of people in my community, is a collapse, Stamall, Delma, Waukaba. They were not okay on Friday night and over the weekend, but this is how they work these follows. There's one thing I'll always keep saying, these developers, they all got their snap, the same trot. So when you hear them tell you that, I'll wear better than this one. And we don't do things like that. I tell you what, don't believe that, because whether it's wind, solar, or all best, they all work the same. Yeah, and that's exactly right. And look, the problem is that we know full well it was affecting your community. We know that the process is flawed from sound, the setbacks, to even what it's doing to the roads and your local areas and the communities around it. Yet no one seems to care. Now you talk to Kate Petal and Flinders-Mare. She's really happy, they want it out there.

They would love wind farms. And you know what, I'm so for it if you want it there. But in built up areas, in areas that don't want it, it should not be even considered. Now, I just cannot get over the lack of disrespect from a federal government that they would even, well, it doesn't surprise me, but they do not give any consultation at all to any other politicians. It's almost embarrassing. They just do what they want and run, try and run rough shots. So now we've got landholders who have been affected. They have no formal process to even ask questions about setbacks. I don't know how this is going to work. I just don't know how it's going to end up. Well, see, this was always the big problem with this small creek wind farm. They just turned up and basically, well, they did. They told us what was going to happen whether we liked it or not. And see, that was because of COVID, well, that was because of the previous government. They couldn't care less.

They couldn't care less the previous labor government of this great state of Queensland. What happened to us regional follows? So this is how a lot of this process has happened. And this project, 150 homes and sensitive use areas had no say. So, you know, BQP, as far as I'm concerned, which are res Australia and energy estate that you see, BQP is the cover base really, but. So that's central Queensland power, but I mean, you know, who are they? Like, who is central Queensland power? No, we don't even know who that is. That just looks like a flash name for me. Well, that's right. And they're overseas investors like they all are and they come into these communities and starts wandering around and they pick out. They're pretty, pretty good. Yeah, but Glenn, can I ask you this, sorry to interrupt you. The government's public loan generated clean code with Drew from Moa Creek wind farm, right?

Correct. Okay, so they say we're up, we're up. So what the hell is going on? If they clean code with Drew from buying the project off these developers and then obviously building it, which all comes back to, I don't care, taxpayers money as simple as that. And you start talking a billion dollar project that's just a thing with building turbines in the mountains. It's called the unknown and. And you're not going, yeah, I get it. Oh, yeah. And so these investors, sorry, these developers would have been, we had to go and looking for another investor now at the end of the day, whether they're going to try and build with themselves or not, that's something I don't know. But when you have Chris Collins, let the capacity investment scheme, which is a $70 billion bucket, which these folks got the green light for at the end of the day, whoever builds it, they don't have to produce any energy at all whatsoever. No, no, no, no. They're paid for it, mate. And that's exactly what happens. So that's exactly right. So now we know that it clears federal and I don't understand

that do you like the mountains that they're going to have to bullblows over, right? Like, you know, like we all know, you know, we know the community knows. Yet if you even drag it, try over on a fence, trying to clean a fence line up, or you know, you're right with these new laws with the EPPBC is all over. Yet these guys can blow up mountains to get turbo and dinner out. It is the most hypocrisy I've seen, and it just suits their narrative. You can put a wind bar in with more concrete at the base than you've ever seen in your life. You can tear up the roads, you can blow up mountains to try and get it all level. But if God forbid, you try and improve your country and grab a bit of grass to fatten some cattle to feed the nation, you're a criminal. It is just crazy. It is just crazy. You're welcome to the green dream, mate. But I've got to say, you know, it always comes back to like the State Government's new legislation, this project would have never, ever even seen

an open door, let alone a crack on the door to get up. And this is what happens. And so moving forward with this, that obviously community consultation will, as far as I'm concerned, CQP's community consultation, it's a joke. When you look at, I think they picked off their community consultation, the media in 24, then the independent chair she resigned in May 25. They had a late meeting in late 25 with a fill in chair. Now, and then there was a big gap. Reason being, there was nothing happening. While while there was nothing happening, there was a hell of a lot happening in this particular project, a hell of a lot. And I say, in the fact of shifting terrible and shifting locations, the turbines up to six kilometres on my dad. And so I mean, when it comes to the community, they, and they've got it written everywhere, we are working well, and we are working with the community,

like LA Bloody R, because at the end of the day, we had a neighbour to the project, who actually was invited in on this community consultation committee. And within a week or so, she'd received an email stating, whereby she wasn't welcome into the committee, because they wanted more hosts. Now, there's only five hosts in this project, and yet there's 150 homes in sensitive areas, 1.5 to five kilometres from a turbine, and they had no say. And at the end of the day, I would call that a spit in the face to the community that have to live around this rubbish, and see QP have to own that, and I look forward to what's ahead of us. Glen Kelly, the member for Marani is our guest this morning. We'll take a break, come back with more. Welcome back to Rural Queens, and today, Glen Kelly, our guest this morning, the member for Marani, he joins us on Rural Queens, and today, Glen, can I tell you this to you? We know the challenges that we're going in the political landscape at the moment, but you've fought like bag of ferrule cats

to try and get this thrown out, and not happen in your electorate, right? And that's the absolute way to do it. But the government just get tarnished now, and with one nation coming through, and everybody, every single week that won nation, you get put at a disadvantage when you've done nothing wrong. You live there, you're bred there, you fight for your electorate, yet some of the decisions, and you are at odds like I am with this renewable plan by the government, and you're allowed to disagree with not everything, everything that your government obviously does, you don't have to agree with, but you tow the company line, but there's got to be some rules, and you're being judged because of decisions not made by you that make a mockery of this process. Well, the federal government, it's like CQP, I'll be straight up and down here. I honestly believe, like I do know that they're not going to endorse out there of landholders, and it's all about land banking. It's all about land banking.

And these developers, they'd love to see this government, go, our government, they're government, and then it all goes back to how they had before, it's called the Green Dream, doing back to doing whatever they want. And while they have a lunar tick down in Canberra called Chris Bowen, allowing this process to go through and the farmers and regional Queensland haven't no say at all, this is where the bus stops. And so I guess to these communities right across Australia too, I might add, not just in CQ, but right across Australia, the pitchforks are out when it comes to renewables, because that's seen through it, that's seen through it. And they don't talk about, there's one thing that never ever gets mentioned when it comes to renewables, and what it does to local communities is the mental abuse. That's exactly right. You're right. We talk about what it's doing to communities, and we're dealing with this around a campsite out of Kinga Roy. We're dealing this with Cumbia.

We're Wombo wind farm, Tara. Now this communities are on their knees, rural communities that are already at a disadvantage. We choose rural, and yet we don't have any services, yet we still choose it. But now they're losing their rights for what they chose, because they've got turbines getting put up within their air shot, and they've got them surrounding homes. It is almost laughable. And it's cruel. It's cruel. That is the word, it is cruel. What's the next process, Glen? And what do you need to do, and what can we do? Well, look, I'm very privileged to be a part of a great government that's working hard to which we did change that legislation from co-deficit or will impact accessible. And I mean, that on its own means a hell of a lot to these communities that were never recognized in the first place, because the previous government allowed us to just get bulldozed over the out of the road. And I think going forward with this, obviously,

tolls here to stay for a long time, and that's a blessing to Queensland, because a lot of people out there don't realize, and I will say, they don't realize how renewables work, but they do know how coal works, and they do know how reliable energy is so important. So long story short, our government is working hard on this, and they know, they know, those communities in regional clean clean, they can't do because at the end of the day, overseas developers, which there was 50 developers in this state, and we heard of, a lot of them are all a bit nervous. Some of them haven't, but there's a lot of developers out there that have been given the green light through the federal government back in 2023, and they haven't done a thing. You did, right? Yeah, because they haven't got tax pay as money anymore. I haven't got the funding, so unless they get backed by the government, they ain't going to operate, which they shouldn't have never been allowed to start off with. It's all about return on investment, and I mean, at the end of the day, which banks are going to let some of these developers

borrow over a billion dollars, with a return of probably 100 million a year to put some money back in the kitty. So, and one thing I will say, they're with the CQP, the locals at home now receive the thing in the mile they last Wednesday to Friday to Monday about this local energy discount scheme. So, that goes to the lead hole is at a 1.5 kilometers from a turbine, and the rebates a thousand bucks a year. Well, that's a joke. That's it once again, that's a spit in the face to the people that have to look beside this blue thing and don't have no say. Can you, can you, like I mean, there's your, does your electorate understand it, then does your government understand it? Like how this has been overwritten, rough shot over you guys. Like, is DC across this just like water? Oh, I like it. He knows. We all know because the community, that's what the legislation had to be changed to give us some breathing space, but the point of it I'm trying to get across is

there's a lot of stuff was done and we weren't in, we weren't around. And they were sitting back laughing their guts out these developers and at the end of the day, they were getting what they wanted. Some of them were gone underground, like I said before, they're still gone off and they want to land, mate, because they want to carry on to where they were previously. And so I look at NSW, Victoria's gone, the farmers of Victoria, poorbuggers, like, and I'll tell you what, the farmers in regional Queensland, we were so close to being a physician like Victoria and thank God the Christopher Lee government got in and we've stood up to fight for regional Queensland because I'll tell you what, without the small communities and the ag sector and all the resources sector, this state would be in a hell of a mess if we still were under the government of Stephen Maul's. Well, 30 is absolutely 100%. We're talking about Glen Kelly. Now I don't want to get too far down the track for you, but I just want to ask you this now,

you inherited, your government inherited the mess. Yeah, and I'm talking everything. We've just seen a triple A rating taken down and everybody can say, oh, well, look what the state government said, no, no, no, no, this is from the sins of the past. Ken, with getting coal back on track, and you talk to Sean Dill and you talk to yourself, you talk to local members, they all want it. They want to get it back on track. Can you get the right credit rating back for this state within the government? I know it's going to take some time, but the Labor government going on about this, like it's, this is all they're doing, all they're doing. Like, I've never seen anything so blunt. Every problem at the moment, every strike that you guys are at the deal with and pay dispute with every member of organization, you guys aren't saying no, you're saying, this should have been fixed and sorted, year on, year on, year on, year, and it never was, and you guys are left to carry the can and the same thing goes with this credit rating. Yeah, no, they've seen it in part of last night.

Look, there was the debate there. It was full on at the end of the day. Labor will never own their responsibilities. Labor will never, because they don't have to manage money mate. And this is the problem we have. And with this credit rating, look, it's, I guess it's one of those things that, it's happened. But when you're looking to the engine room of this government, we know what we're doing, we know where we've got to go, we know that reason Queensland can't, we know, we know, yes, the Olympics are on its way, but there's a lot of investment coming back to regional Queensland because it's, they keep buying and the Labor Party spin it, they can spin it like a beauty. But at the end of the day, when it comes back to this credit rating, we will come back. And I guess when you look at it all, we were, the government for 10 years, and they talk about 10 years down here, like hell, it was 30 years, 30 years this state got absolutely felt and drained.

Regional Queensland and the Prince Highway, we were never mentioned mate. We were never mentioned. It was all about where I met the moment down in the heartland of bloody Brisbane City. And so I mean, we're not talking 10 years at here, and we're talking 30, at a 35. So at the end of the day, what gets said just said, but my boss, you know, he's got this state back on track and they cross for that because I look up to him, I think he's doing a great job and like, he's letting out of any, and one thing about it is, he doesn't just do the talk and he does the walk, and that's what, that's what quickly need, if we're ever going to come back. So, and now, I just need your electorate. We just need your electorate. We just need your electorate, bloody calm down and get some rights. Appreciate your time, Glen Kelly. Appreciate your time, member from Marani. Really appreciate your time this morning. No, good on you mate. Thanks so much, A. We're going to take a break, come back, plenty more to get through Rural Queensland today. Welcome back to Rural Queensland today. Just an update on the preliminary finals,

they've been announced this morning by the NRL. The dolphins will take on either the winner of the sharks or the roosters next Friday night. So, that will be Friday night, the 25th of September. Now, that's the day before the AFL Grand Final and if the Lions are in the Grand Final, they'll be there on that day. So, the big deal will be the 25th of September, the prelim semi-final for the dolphins. That will happen next week. I thought what I would do is just talk about the story that is dominating the new cycle around this 20th team and where it will be located. For too long, Peter Belandies and World Under, who is just out of phenomenal job, but they are looking to try and get a 20th team. Now, everybody's talking a second team in New Zealand. I'll be over in New Zealand this weekend. I'll be at Eden Park for that game on Sunday and I'll head over there on Saturday. But then they started talking about EPSWitch

and we know that the Western corridor is highly sought after and we know that there is a lot of people wanting a team in EPSWitch and another team there in the South East. Well, allow me hold. To Umber has now become a real opportunity for an in our real franchise. Now, this has been going on behind the scenes for some time and we're David Little Proud as the patron of the Tour McLeod Stales and Ben Icon as one of was the CEO of the QRL, but been one of the people who have got the Clod Stales back on their feet along with Ben and Shane Walker as their coaches. The opportunity to put a franchise there is very real. Now, what needs to happen? Well, if I'm honest with you, a lot, $100 million if I'm exact and that's been the big sticking point. There needs to be a $100 million kicker

for Peter Valenius to even look at having a franchise. Now, would a franchise out of To Umber be the right option? Well, I think so, yes. The Western corridor has been an area where we have for a long period of time always produced and played above our weight. There is massive growth happening there. There will be a stadium built where the old hospital is and the old tennis courts at some point in the next couple of years. And the training facilities with the money and with the resources through To Umber could be spectacular. Now, remember, we've got an airport there. We've got the hotels. We've got the opportunity. And the To Umber Clidesdale's being based out of To Umber would be phenomenal for the game. It's the major inland regional city in Australia. It would draw a lot of people.

It's a phenomenal place to live. So I feel like that this decision is very much right the right decision. Now, the player, the person that's been named is a guy by the name of Greg Mullins who supposedly has made his money in agriculture. I've never heard of Greg Mullins. And everybody I've tried to ask about hasn't heard of him. So if Greg Mullins is that person and that backer, well, I'm looking forward to seeing it because he's the man that's been named as the mystery backer behind it and based out of To Umber. Now, he's met with the Clidesdale's and there's nothing underwards there. They all think, but I've never heard of him. Everybody says he's a beef producer in rural and regional Queensland. I've asked so many people, no one has heard of him. That's not to say that he's not the person. I just haven't got anybody that knows of him and his history in the bush.

There is a lot to like about this To Umber bid though, but let's not get too carried away. It's to the highest bit of wins. So if Peter Velland thinks that they can make more money out of a game being played in New Zealand in a second team or in the Western corridor or into Umber, it'll be going there. But To Umber to me seems like a really smart decision. One that I think if we look at, not in isolation, but really as long to employ, you could be drawing a lot of kids who don't have to go as far. Very much like, very much like what has been the issue with the Cowboys. The Cowboys grew a base and that town is growling and grown and their support is second and none. So am I for a To Umber team? Bloody oath. Do what I like to say the To Umber Clydesdals or they're most likely would have to change the name because it's too much like the Broncos, but a To Umber rugby league, see?

Absolutely. Does it need the backers? Yes. Is the money there? Yes. We'll watch this space and wait and see because that'll be the next thing, whether or not it can get over the line. And we'll look at that and we'll wait and we'll go from there. We're going to take a break, come back. This is Rural Queens Land today and you're with Ben Dobbin. It is the seventh of September across Rural Queens Land today. Welcome back. Well, let's continue that chat properly right to straight. Yeah. So Jim Wilmot, he joined me this morning. Jim, good morning. I'm just in absolute sheer disdain and probably a little pissed off that we have a situation where in the Sedamorani, we have the Mohawk Creek Wind Farm where the consultation process was taken away and the federal government see it deem fit to have something put up because it passes all the environmental

boxes. This is just almost a joke and it shows the worrying signs that we're getting to now. Good morning, Dobbin. Thanks for having me on. Yes. Like look, the conditional environmental approval under the EPBC happened, yeah, in the last couple of days. So with the Mohawk Creek Wind Farm, it's a really worrying concern. Like it's got a lot of impacts the development, like you know, hundreds of hectares, who I'll have it at greater glider, black button, quail, and it affects a lot of those landholders. And really, back it was approved by Labor Government, State Labor Government back in 2023. And there was, you know, a lot of submissions that went in, over a thousand signatures, but the State Labor Government still approved it. We don't know the decommissioning status. There'd be something about decommissioning plans, but nothing about upfront statutory security for decommissioning.

It just flies in the face how the federal government can give this environmental approval. And like this project, really, if there was powers to call it in at a state level, it should be called in because... So why don't that, why don't that, why isn't it? Well, I've been told by people in this government, that the time period has elapsed. And they... Well, that's the normal thing. That's what they say now. That's what they say about Womba. Oh, well, the time period elapsed. And that's what... Surely there's got to be... We can make legislation that's taken all the rights over last week. When we know what we'll get to that, these new mining laws that overreach, that mean that, you know, anybody that government can come in and it doesn't require any pushback at all, they can change the legislation and try and put something around consultation periods that's elapsed. They've got to do that. They have to job. Well, what basically, as I say,

and the crisper-pillar government are saying that they can't... They can't fix the mistakes of Labor. That's what they're saying. That's what it's all about. And that's just not good enough, mate. Well, and that's just not good enough. Look, they can call it in, but... And they have the powers too. What it does, and... You know, they will say that it... That it will make impact on other development applications and the confidence in the industry to invest further. Great. Let's do it. Let's call it in. Let's call this one in, and let's call the wrong West Wind Farm in, because really, they were approved on weakened processes that don't allow community... Effective community input and don't protect the community in the environment. They should be called in for the sake of community safety, the environment. And as just goes forward, I just don't understand why these projects are being allowed to continue when the State Government knows they were approved under a weak consistent. They've improved that system.

The State Government through recent changes, but we still need the power to pull these projects in, because they were approved under a system that wasn't good enough for protection of landholders in the community and the environment. Yeah, and that's the big thing as well. Once we see that, we've got a better idea that we're not seeing any leadership in this sense from the government. So Jim, is it on you or Ag Force, or who's it on to have these to take up the fight with the government? And are the government open to listening? That's the biggest thing. Dave Christopher has done a great job. It's just we had Glenn Kelly on his very, very upset, the member from Marani, very upset. And I thought I'd talk to you because he's like, and rightly so, they're blaming Labor. But now you can only blame Labor for so long. So now you've got to make substance change. And are they making changes in different areas, doing a wonderful job?

But the renewable sphere and the coal royalties and the legislation around mining is the only thing that's antagonising everybody at the moment. And that is a big, big issue to landholders. And that's where you guys come in. So my question to you is, are they opening to listening? Are they, or is they just not even listening to your concerns? We're not listening, Dobbo. When it comes to these decisions here that have been made previously, they've picked up the past and mistakes of Labor. They don't want to know about it with these projects. Gee, who is? So they're, you know, that, that, that improves processes. They haven't totally fixed the, the renewable development and approval processes at this point and so on, but they've improved them. But as far as past decisions by Labor government at state level, they're not interested in fixing them up. So, yeah. Do you need to have to live with that, Dobbo? Gee, who is? It's worry though. It's a worry mate. If they won't, if they won't listen to you about this,

what, what, what to next? What, what's going to be the next? I can understand Glenn Kelly's concerns about the mile creek like, and they're so frustrated. Like there needs to be provisions in, there needs to be scope for this state government to pull in the mistakes of Labor. And it needs to happen soon because I think communities and landowners generally are seeing these projects approved under Labor put through. Like they've got really weakened consultation processes. There's no community benefit game, social impact assessment and no decommissioning. Really upfront costs. So these are all risks to the community and surrounding landowners and the environment. So all in the end, Queenslanders are going to suffer from the past bad decisions of Labor. And I think it's up to the LNP government to step up and fix it. What did you make of last week's mining laws and the overreach?

Well, look, I'm still getting my head around. It was only the last couple of days, the mineral resources amendment bill was put out. I can see why removing, you know, duplicate of paperwork is reasonable. But I mean, you know, if it takes away, you know, your affected landowners capacity to be guaranteed a court hearing if they issue a properly made objection, well, you know, that's what he is on a double. And the 125 kilometre, like I guess you'd call it, a boundary where landowners, local governments can actually put in like objections. Well, you know, I can see the reasoning behind that, but it does come again with risk because a lot of these issues when you think about water, biodiversity,

by security, do have a bigger effect across more than 125 kilometre area radius. So that needs to be considered too. Really, when you think about it, it's more power in the hands of the minister for resources and the environmental department to decide whether these things go to the LNP court. If they're properly made objections, submissions don't go to the LNP court anymore under these new amendments, so there's risk there. But I can see that a lot of environmental, non-governmental organisations that live in capital cities and all that are holding up projects through frivolous claims. And that is slowing down. I can see what the government's trying to do, and it kind of doves into what we've seen

by the planning legislation being changed to help expedient critical minerals and other developments where this is talking about the mining leases side of it and the environmental authorities attached to those leases. So it does pose in, it helps the government roll out more mining development, critical minerals. But really, you're again putting the hands, there's more executive power to say, Minister last saying, well, I think, yeah, this should go to the environment in LNP court, or no, it shouldn't. It shouldn't have that power. Like, landowners' objections should go directly to LNP court. Yeah, I agree. No question about it. I agree with you 100%. I really do. And just because it takes a bit a longer time and stuff like that, well, maybe it should. It should make sure we protect our water sources, make sure we protect our biodiversity's in LNP, all the rights. But in some cases, there are frivolous claims,

but that power's already in the Land Act, to strike out frivolous claims. So it's a balancing act. Then there's a lot more thought and analysis that needs to go into this bill, to see what it's like, but on face value, yeah, there's still quite a few issues with it. I am pleased, double that they have consulted having told you people, big body groups early. So that is a good thing, because I think there's a lot more work that needs a lot more analysis to find out the final details of this. Yeah, I agree 100%. Really appreciate your time this morning, Jim. You do an unbelievable job. Jim Wormott is from Property Rights Australia. And we need more people like you fighting. We just need it.
