#AshleyDodd claims that the project will be low emissions.
apparently gladstone emits around 90t/MWh, kogan 80MW/tC, shine 80M/tC dry cool, 70tC/MWh wet cool⊠a reduction of 10-20 t/CMWhâ
got that? no, neither did i.
thereâs nothing low emissions about a coal power station.

i think ash (appropriate name, eh?) is trying to say the project might achieve 800 kgCOâe/MWh.
it certainly wouldnât come close to 700.
whatever, itâs no âcleanerâ than coal plants built in queensland 15 years ago and there's no such thing as low-emissions coal.

ashley, said to be a former hairdresser & prison guard, who has never built an energy project, takes umbrage when anyone suggests his company doesnât have the skills to build a $3,000,000,000 project.
âŠand he never signed up to the paris agreement!

on 8 february of this year @AngusTaylor 
announced that #ShineEnergy would receive a grant of âup to $4mâ.
two days later shine was invited to apply!
yep, thatâs right⊠invited to apply for grant 2 days *after* the grant was announced. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/jul/24/shine-energy-invited-to-apply-for-collinsville-power-station-grant-two-days-after-securing-it

at the end of july, @Mark_Butler_MP referred this sordid saga to the ANAO, and last week the auditor general agreed to consider adding it to the work program.

remember folksâŠ
here we have a minister of the crown giving $3,600,000 to a company clearly lacking the competency to pull off a project thatâll never stack up.
âŠthis is also the *emissions*reduction minister*, trying to progress a highly polluting *coal* power station.

so far nobody has suggested any connection between this project and @AngusTaylorâs family.
no, here angus is allowing himself to be compromised because heâs made his bed with the hard-right pro-coal wingnuts of his party, & now he must sleep in it. eeeew!
naked ambition.

the promise to fund this project came in the lead up to the 2019 federal election.
local member @mlandryMP needed to pledge something.
even dodd *now* sees thisâŠ
âiâm very, very upset. iâm starting to feel like weâve been used to win the election.â https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2020/jun/12/company-behind-collinsville-power-plant-fears-it-was-used-by-coalition-to-win-election

âŠbut itâs hard to say the plan worked:
in 2019 @mlandryMP received 40.6% of first preferences, a touch more than the 40.1% she received in 2016.
each of those 853 extra votes cost us $4,220!

hilariously, #AshleyDodd has been crying poor recently â saying that he needs $4m.
keep in mind that #ShineEnergy has never built a thing⊠it doesnât even have an office.

which makes this claim from dodd a little bit funny, and a little bit sad:
btw, if anyone seriously thinks this proposal is likely to proceed, head over and be the first to challenge my prediction here:

but as @jommy_tee says, itâs all academic isnât it?

today @AustralianLabor brought forward a disallowance motion â if they get a majority the grant can be overturned.
but the motion will probably fail, because @PaulineHansonOz and @MRobertsQLD will join with @LiberalAus to defeat the motion.

let me acknowledge the tireless work of @BenSmee who dug up most of this, as well as @jommy_tee, @RonniSalt and @MichaelWestBiz who, like me, despise corruption.
(hey @apatrickafr, is it now time for a puff piece praising angus for his foresight in backing this amazing project?)
