*The Detrimental Effects of Data Centers' Rising #WaterConsumption*

(6/n)

...The devastating effects that occur, when #Multinationals such as #Nestlé or #Danone monopolize the #FreshWater supply, can be seen in many locations. 6)

👉In my view, #DataCenter operators need to be obliged not only to purchase #CarbonOffsetCredits.
A similar program needs to be developed for the #Conservation of the world's dwindling #FreshWater resources,👈

“He (#PeterDutton) cites #DataCentres in the US where those #tech companies are having conversations with nuclear power providers:

The beauty of an #investment like #nuclear into the #Hunter region for example is you can attract the data centres which is exactly what is happening in the US. #Apple and #Oracle and #Microsoft, or these #companies are willing to spend tens of billions of dollars but they are only having conversations with #NuclearPower providers.”

#Straya gov cant #science or #compute, the LNP are garbage at business. Nuclear generation is #toxic. #Multinationals avoid tax.

Fifth-generation farmers fighting to save their land
The Byrne family in western Victoria refuses to surrender their farm to a US-backed mineral sands mining company. They want to keep farming and pass their land on to future generations—but under Australian law, their options are limited.
Experts say landowners who resist approved mines face long, expensive legal battles with little chance of success. Is this what fair land rights look like?

Not a peep from Australia's mainstream media! The Accountability and Corporate Transparency Coalition has praised the Australian government for passing world-leading tax transparency laws. These laws will require many large multinationals, including up to half of all major U.S. firms, to publicly report country-by-country tax and financial data for high-risk jurisdictions linked to profit shifting and tax avoidance. A big step forward for accountability!

The FACT Coalition · FACT Applauds Australia’s Passage of Groundbreaking New Tax Transparency Requirements for Major MultinationalsMany companies, including as many as half of all large U.S. multinationals, will soon begin publicly reporting tax and other financial information for a range of high-risk jurisdictions typically associated with profit shifting and related tax avoidance schemes.

While farmers and other Catalans have been suffering water shortages in recent years, there’s one group of actors that appears to be immune, and even profits from water shortages: multinational companies extracting millions of litres of water from the very same land.

Penalising #FoodWaste should be done proportionately: bigger chains and #multinationals should be scrutinised and penalised the most and should have to follow stricter rules.

And if a new and comprehensive food waste regulation would come into force, let’s bring it in line with #PublicHealth and #ClimateChange aspirations and policies. A general overhaul of the grocery store design and food placement is needed to promote healthy diets.

Many large #multinationals companies use complicated structures to move money they've made in #Australia from Australian customers to countries that have lower tax rates and pay the tax there. It's often completely legal. Should taxpayers be rewarding them ? #auspol #payyourtaxes #taxevation

Just checking that we all understand this: the world isn't ruled by #governments any more, it's the #multinationals and their #oligarch owners who are grabbing everything before there's nothing left to grab, are looking to save themselves and a few loyal slaves/footsoldiers (soon to be replaced by robots, AI etc) and the rest of us are entirely dispensable.
They know the #breakdown of #civilisation is coming; they've known for #decades. Hence the #PrivateIslands #Stockades and #Bunkers

#Introduction
With masters in economics and public administration, I worked 10 years in the private sector (#marketing #management #SME #multinationals).
Then I joined the ICRC, at HQ and in the field (#Kashmir, #Burundi, #Indonesia). Later I was appointed head of fundraising and communication, and member of the senior management team, at Terre des hommes.
Now I work in a boutique consultancy, Strategos, advising mainly public entities in strategy, evaluation and organisational development.
