Baaritaan Parlamaanta New South Wales: Maamulku u saaray horumar badeecadaha dabiiciga ah inuu ka horreeyo baahida bulshada gobolka

Baaritaan rasmi ah oo lagu sameeyay New South Wales ayaa sheegay in maamulka dowladda ay u saareen horumar degdeg ah oo ku saabsan meelaha badeecadaha dabiiciga ah inuu ka horreeyo baahida bulshada gobolka, taasoo keentay naxdin iyo khasaare aan loo baahnayn.

Baaritaanka iyo Talo-bixiyayaasha

Baaritaanka Parlamaanta New South Wales, oo la sameeyay sanadkii 2024, ayaa booqday meel kasta oo ka mid ah afar meelood oo gobolka ah, kadibna soo saaray warbixin ku saabsan saameynta qorshaha badeecadaha dabiiciga ah. Warbixintu waxay soo jeedisay 16 talo, oo ay ku jiraan in la xaqiijiyo mas'uuliyadda Energy Corporation of NSW (EnergyCo) iyo in la sameeyo xafiis bulsho oo u dooda dadka deegaanka.

Kooro baaritaanka, Mark Banasiak, oo ka tirsan xildhibaannada Shooters, Fishers and Farmers, ayaa sheegay in dowladdu ay 'dhacdo' bulshada gobolka, isagoo intaas ku daray in 'maamulku aysan heysan aqoonsi bulsho, waayo ay u gudbiyeen qorshaha iyadoo aan la wadaagin dadka deegaanka.' Waxaa sidoo kale la sheegay in aan la wadaagin bulshada ay tahay doorasho aad u qoto dheer oo dowladdu sameysay si loo gaaro qorshaha.

Saameynta Bulshada Gobolka

Allison McPhee, oo ah dhalinyaro dhexdhexaad ah oo dhaqaale ku leh New South Wales, ayaa sheegtay in qorshaha badeecadaha dabiiciga ah uu saameyn weyn ku yeesho ganacsigeeda. Wuxuu sheegay in la baabi'inayo baabuurka dhaqaalaha, isagoo intaas ku daray in 'wax walba ay u baahan yihiin in la bedelo, waayo ma ahan in dadku ay ka hor istaagaan, balse waa in siyaasaddu ay tahay mid xun.'

Anna Young, oo ah dhaqaale-geliye oo ku nool Walcha, ayaa sheegtay in ay ka xumahay sida dowladdu uga jawaabto warbixinta. Waxay sheegtay in 'aan la aaminsanayn in warbixintu ay keento beddel, waayo ma jiro mas'uuliyad.' Waxay intaas ku dartay in 'wax walba ay u baahan yihiin in la wadaago, waayo ma jiro qofna oo la wadaago.' Warbixintu waxay sheegtay in xiriirka u dhaxeeya EnergyCo iyo bulshada gobolka uu 'badbaaday'.

Jawaabta Dowladda New South Wales

Dowladda New South Wales waxay sheegtay in warbixintu ay muujinayso caqabado badan oo ka dhan ah 'beddelka nidaamka badeecadaha dabiiciga ah' ee gobolka. Waxay intaas ku dartay in 'shaqo weyn' ay sameysay, oo ay ku jirto in la siiyo lacag dhaqaale, lacag dhaqaale iyo faa'iidooyin bulsho oo ku saabsan meelaha ay saameynta ku yeelatay.

Dowladdu waxay leedahay ilaa Oktoobar sanadkan inay jawaab rasmi ah ka bixiso warbixinta. Waxaa jira in dowladdu ay sheegto inay sameysay 'shaqo weyn' tan iyo markii warbixinta hore loo gudbiyay bishii August sanadkii hore, laakiin dadka deegaanka ayaa sheegaya in aan la aaminsanayn in warbixintu ay keento beddel.

NSW government has until October to formally respond to 16 recommendations including stronger accountability for EnergyCo and recurrent funding for local councils.

A NSW parliamentary inquiry has concluded the state's energy body prioritised speed over community engagement in its renewable energy zones rollout, causing predictable and avoidable harm to regional landholders.

Inquiry Condemns Lack of Social Licence

The NSW government has been accused of leaving regional NSW behind in a scathing parliamentary report into renewable energy zones (REZ), with a lack of coherent planning and a failure to listen to impacted communities resulting in 'predictable and avoidable harm'.

Inquiry chair and Shooters, Fishers and Farmers MLC Mark Banasiak said the inquiry found the NSW government 'railroaded' impacted communities with the scheme's rollout, stating: 'It was quite clear that they had no social licence, the social licence had collapsed because they had failed to bring the community along'.

Farmers Face Profound Livelihood Impacts

For fourth-generation beef farmer Allison McPhee, the realities of the state's shift towards renewable energy are impossible to ignore, as a transmission line from Walcha to Bayswater will run right through her property on the outskirts of Scone in the Upper Hunter.

Ms McPhee says: 'We will have to re-evaluate the whole way we do things. We would have to reduce our herd because we can't carry as many cattle, which reduces your profitability.' She adds: 'This is failing because the policy is bad, not because the people are non-compliant.' and 'Nobody is listening to the local knowledge.'.

Government Response and Community Caution

For grazier Anna Young, whose property near Walcha is at the extreme end of the transmission line, there is caution about what comes next, despite being supportive of the report's findings and recommendations.

Ms Young says: 'My faith in this report leading to change is pretty low'. She says: 'I think it's really validating for all communities that have been dealing with Energy Co for years and trying to shout from the rooftops about all the problems, but there doesn't seem to be any accountability.'.
