Something we discovered in our ep is that the account that initially reported on her essay was created just a few days before this incident. Her mom is a known Qanon lawsuit grifter btw. There’s almost 0 chance this wasn’t a setup. We went through the Fulnecky history with @parkermolloy.com here:

In Lebanon. Can hear the Israeli drone constantly now. I’ve only been back for a day but folks here deal with it 24/7, for months. It’s psychological torture. You can even see it, just flying around. The Israelis want to let everyone know that they can kill whoever they want whenever they want.

Whenever the Greens or independents want anything to change the media screams demanding in-depth analysis from them on how the policy would work then dismisses them even if they have that analysis

Pauline goes ‘look at me, I have no policy but I am racist’ and the media is like ‘let’s hear her out’

Having read the legislation, I'm concerned about the potential for a future government to use it to punish welfare recipients supporting groups of which it disapproves. In the UK, thousands of people have been arrested under "anti-terrorism legislation" for holding signs supporting Palestine Action.

"It is located 5km from the town of Deniliquin, but none of that town’s population of more than 2,700 people objected to it.

All 66 objections came from more than 50 kms away, with 60 of them from people located more than 100kms away, and 26 from interstate"

Indeed, there were no objections that related specifically to this project, its location or its impact on any local fauna or flora. It is likely that few if any of the objectors had actually read the project documents in detail. Several objectors think the battery is actually a wind farm, and others think it is a solar project. One is concerned about its impact on the catchment of the Keiwa River, which is 250 kms away, located in another state and on the other side of the Murray River. Maybe they had been encouraged to complain about another project, and forgot to change it for this one. Most simply don’t like the idea of renewables: “Soon, we’ll all be in the dark thanks to delusional Global Boiling cultists!” said one. Some object to the use of agricultural land for a big battery. But the project is located right next to a substation, and is not used for any grazing or crops because it has been degraded by a gravel borrow pit on the site, which has formed a depression with poor soils and weedy vegetation. The battery project developers are actually proposing to do something the previous users didn’t do – rehabilitate it so it can actually be used for agriculture in the future, perhaps sheep grazing. The department of planning said it is likely the project would improve the land, not degrade it. There were plenty of constructive consultations, mostly with local council and other bodies such as the Rural Fire Service, the local Fire Brigade, the local irrigation council, and other entities. The developers, Avenis, responded accordingly and made some adjustments to the project. It has waded through thousands of pages of documents and patiently responded to each and every concern, no matter how wild the claim. The NSW Planning department noted the considerable local benefits, saying some $1.4 million in community benefits had been offered via the council through a voluntary planning agreement, and also noting the injection of some $206 million of capital inv…
