As someone who lived in a small town where droughts already meant our water ran brown, this country cannot handle the environmental impacts of data centres. They are unnecessary and will only harm the day to day living of every person in this nation. It is a waste of resources and money and will worsen the problems already present in this nation. I am 20. I am already concerned for my future in this country and the idea of data centres chewing through our resources only worsens it.
Jay supported: Stopping the Ai data centers in AustraliaIm only 16 and im studying animal sciences to help prevent the destruction of this world and help animals fight for their home and a chance to live alongside us. All adults that try to destroy our land for their own interests and money gain are disgusting. I want a future where children won't have to go to zoos to only see ai versions of animals because the real ones were driven to extinction due to our own greed.
Laoise supported: Stopping the Ai data centers in AustraliaAs a fifteen year old who lives in this country, it’s not fair that those who have already experienced their lives! What about us? Don’t we deserve a future??
Isla supported: Stopping the Ai data centers in AustraliaI am deeply concerned that Baw Baw Shire Council's decision prioritises financial considerations over the wellbeing of residents. The consequences are likely to be devastating to families with significant and long lasting impacts on the broader community. Please bring back weekly collections.
Kelvin supported: Reinstate weekly general waste collections in Baw Baw ShireBeing offered an additional red bin doesn’t change the reality that people must hold onto waste, especially hazardeous items soiled with urine, faeces, blood and other bodily fluids, for up to 2 weeks at a time. Council have not really considered the needs of the community. I hope they just bring back weekly collections.
Laura supported: Reinstate weekly general waste collections in Baw Baw ShireIf you pay peanuts you get MONKEYS. If you pay your rates your bloody house smells like trash. FIX IT BAW BAW!!!!
Garry supported: Reinstate weekly general waste collections in Baw Baw ShireHouseholds with medical/incontinence waste or children in nappies cannot go 2 weeks between collections. Not only is this a public health issue that will only worsen as we move in to summer, it particularly affects the elderly, the ill/disabled, women and children.
Aspen supported: Reinstate weekly general waste collections in Baw Baw ShireMayor Kate Wilson stated council had limited scope for genuine consultation because it was implementing "state policy" and described its role as "delivery" rather than decision making - The State Government's Circular Economy (Waste Reduction and Recycling) Act 2021 only requires councils to provide access to a 4-bin system (FOGO by 2030, glass by 2027) it does not mandate how often each bin is collected. Collection frequency is entirely a local council decision, proven by the fact that under this same law, Latrobe City and East Gippsland Shire kept weekly general waste collection while Baw Baw chose to cut ours to fortnightly. Council can't hide behind "the state made us do it" ! The frequency cut was Baw Baw's own choice, and by the mayor's own public admission, one driven largely by rising landfill levy costs, not a legal requirement.
Lance supported: Reinstate weekly general waste collections in Baw Baw ShireCouncil cites "53% of the average bin" to justify cutting general waste collection, but has never published the audit behind that number — no date, no sample size, no methodology. It's worth noting that almost every Victorian council rolling out FOGO quotes a strikingly similar figure (50–66%), each claiming it as their own local finding. Either this is a genuine coincidence across dozens of independent audits, or councils are recycling a generic statewide estimate and presenting it as shire-specific evidence.
