Dick Smith has unleashed on the ABC.
The public broadcaster ‘fact checked’ him over his stance on renewable energy.
But the Aussie businessman says they’re spreading “complete misinformation”.
Listen to Dick Smith blast the ABC here.

View this morning over looking the Wimmera plains to the east. Proposed VNI-West Transmission lines to rip right through this prime agriculture land. This is Ag land not energy land, producing clean, safe, reliable and affordable food and fibre. #wakeupaustralia

Irrigation #farmers in the #MurrayDarling produce 40% of our food from just 2% of the agricultural land compared to the Worldwide figure of 20%.
THAT'S 10 TIMES MORE PRODUCTION.
The @AlboMP Gov't & Minister @tanya_plibersek want to reduce farmers' water with unnecessary buybacks.
💧Water is life.
💧Water is food.
❌Water is NOT an infinite resource.
It's time to stop taking water for granted.
Let's take #WaterAction for food and be the change our world needs.

Some of you may have seen the @AlboMP Gov'ts emotive & factually incorrect ad that talks about overuse of water in the ##MurrayDarling Basin.
There's actually significant underuse of water.
The propaganda from @tanya_plibersek's Department is disgraceful.

UNCOMFORTABLE TRUTH
Australia emits a little more than 1% but Australia's land, flora and agriculture absorb nearly 3%.
Australia is a CO2 sink as it absorbs much more CO2 than it produces.
Why is this not acknowledged?

Do you think any of our leaders have any idea how fucked up this flooding situation is?
It's like the Hume hwy through Moulamein at the moment & our roads were already destroyed.
There's a 5t limit on the Kyalite rd which is being completely ignored.

Why does our new ag minister also hold the Emergency Management portfolio? We are facing a huge threat from FMD & there appears to be little response from govt.
Shouldn’t our minister be solely responsible for ag given its importance?
Is this reflective of govt attitude to ag?
