Built Cheap. Sold Green. Paid for in Blood.
China won’t stop sending poison to Australia because we’ve trained them not to. We’ve taught them a simple rule: ship it cheap, ship it fast, and if it kills someone, Canberra will hold an “inquiry” and then order more.
Exploding EVs. Solar batteries that light up like a Molotov cocktail. Building materials that belong in a hazmat pit, not a school. And what did we do after children’s classrooms arrived with asbestos baked into them? Did we torch the supply chain? Ban the importers? Name the companies? Slam penalties so hard the next container would need a dentist?
No. We shrugged. We “reviewed standards.” We “worked with stakeholders.” We performed the usual government ritual of pretending paperwork is a substitute for spine.
And then we did the most Australian bureaucratic thing imaginable: we doubled down. Not just a few dodgy panels or a handful of parts. Hundreds of thousands of wind turbines ~ the same kind of industrial junk shipped by the same manufacturing ecosystem we’ve already caught using asbestos. A country that’s been busted before, caught again, and somehow still gets handed the keys to critical infrastructure like it’s a trusted mate from down the pub.
It didn’t stop at schools either. Hospitals. Hospital expansions. Places meant to keep people alive, quietly padded with materials that can kill them slowly. That’s the punchline: the poison doesn’t even have to work hard. We install it ourselves.
And now comes the grand finale ~ the part where the rich walk away clean and the farmers get buried alive under someone else’s “green” marketing.
Electricity companies are now openly saying the quiet part out loud: removing the acres of concrete under these turbine monsters isn’t “financially viable.” Meaning: the profits were banked, the bonuses were paid, the photo ops were taken, and the liabilities are being dumped onto whoever owns the land. Aussie farmers ~ again ~ handed the bill, the mess, the legal nightmare, and the long tail of contamination risk, while the corporate clowns and political pimps who pushed this rubbish skate off into the sunset.
So what do we have?
- A nation importing known-risk goods from known-repeat offenders
- A government allergic to consequences
- Middlemen getting rich on volume while pretending they don’t own the fallout
- Farmers left with concrete tombs and toxic questions
- And a “renewable” label used like holy water to bless industrial dumping
This is not “green.” It’s not “progress.” It’s a landfill with a PR budget. It’s what happens when a country confuses slogans for standards and virtue-signalling for vigilance.
If Australia had any self-respect, poisonous imports would trigger consequences that hurt: bans, seizures, blacklists, personal liability for importers, mandatory remediation bonds, and criminal penalties when people are exposed. Instead, we get soft hands, soft laws, and hard lessons.
China keeps sending poison because it works.
Not chemically ~ politically.
