## Resource

Prime Minister Albanese is rolling out bold new rules to rein in Australia’s booming datacentre industry, demanding AI-driven hubs pay for their own power and feed energy back into the grid — a move aimed at ending the patchwork of state-level regulations. While industry groups like Data Centres Australia support the framework, they stress the devil’s in the details, especially around matching renewable energy with soaring demand. Environmentalists and communities, citing examples like Lane Cove’s industrial land grab, are calling for a pause on new projects until rules are finalized — echoing New York’s recent one-year halt. With Queensland historically resistant and the Climate Council warning of higher prices and pollution, the push for national consensus is heating up — and the Greens are demanding Australia follow suit with a moratorium.
