Victoria gives final state approval for biggest wind farm in southern hemisphere
Why it matters
Wind-farm expansion directly supports Australia's energy sovereignty and decoupling from fossil-fuel imports, a critical input to sustained defence-industrial capacity and fiscal resilience under extended crisis. Renewable-energy scaling reduces vulnerability to energy-supply shocks (including Hormuz-closure scenarios) that would constrain manufacturing, defence operations, and grid stability.
