>they must show their projects are in Australia’s national interest, support the clean energy shift, use water responsibly, create local jobs, and build local capability.
“In Australia’s interest” is so vague as to be meaningless. How does something that consumes energy “support the clean energy shift”? It’s a customer of energy, not a generator.

It’s a brilliant idea. Data centres are coming here because of sovereign risk. Australia is safe, politically stable, good infrastructure. We can afford to bid up the requirements for setting up here. Don’t like it? Set up in America then. Watch your data centres collapse the power grid and then burn in the upcoming revolution and then try to keep them running as the economy inevitably collapses around you.
