It's interesting that Queensland is the one state that won't sign up to the new energy minister's rules. The NEXTDC CEO told Alan Kohler on his podcast That's Business with Alan Kohler, which is well worth listening to, that the national expectations were basically the current rules, which have been put on a website. Why have we got such lax government guardrails when it comes to data centres and when it comes to artificial intelligence?
