Australia’s national cabinet is locked in a fierce debate over how to power the nation’s exploding data centers, with federal authorities pushing for mandatory renewable energy and water-use rules — a move fiercely resisted by Queensland and the Northern Territory, who accuse Canberra of overreach. Amid this tension, the agenda also tackles domestic violence, bird flu outbreaks, and fuel security — but key issues like GST and private health rebates remain off-limits. Energy Minister stands firm, ready to legislate if states don’t comply, while dismissing nuclear as too costly and slow. Premiers are calling the federal stance “foolish” and bullying — all while AI’s energy demands threaten to deepen divisions over Australia’s future energy path.
