"...referred to the IPC because it received 83 objections – the trigger for IPC referral in NSW is 50 objections – but 77 of these objections came from people living more than 50 kms away, or even interstate. There were 9 submissions from locals, and all supported the project." There's that horizontal/vertical community thing again. People who actually live near these (horizontal) want them. Professional lobbyists who live online (vertical) try to obstruct them. The public voted overwhelmingly for a federal government that wants to install renewables. Objectors are usually fossil fuel-funded fakes, or tiny groups of online culture warriors. With some outright morons and numpties mixed in.
