Billionaire’s son’s outrage cancelled energy opinion
What holds more weight in science? An engineer with a four-decade-long career and master’s in nuclear energy delivering a researched talk, or the son of Australia’s first billionaire on X?
Rob Parker’s, “Avoiding an Energy Blunder Down Under” talk was scheduled for the Engineers Australia Newcastle division until the son of Australia’s first billionaire, Simon Holmes a Court, had a two sentence long tantrum about it on X. One would expect Engineers Australia, a body responsible for accrediting engineers, to foster academic curiosity.
However, on Tuesday at 4:09 pm, the billionaire voiced his objection “seriously @engaustralia? you’re hosting an anti-renewables event for @nukeforclimate?”.
Minutes later, Engineers Australia cancelled Mr Parker, without so much as a phone call - instead grovelling before Holmes a Court, Australia’s most enthusiastic wind and solar factory investor, claiming the talk did not “meet our guidelines, and we are investigating how it was scheduled.”
A lengthy email chain reveals engineers reviewed the talk and approved it two months earlier, after Mr Parker, the founder of Nuclear for Climate Australia, gave it to their professional development team for review.
Despite cancelling on X, the technically-minded folk at Engineers Australia HQ forgot to tell their automatic email, sending a blast that had 140 attendees waiting online to enter an event where the host had been gagged and cancelled by a group terrified of alternate opinions and powerful enough to stop them from being heard. Making matters worse, EA’s HQ emailed registered members claiming the talk was “cancelled due to the speaker being unwell” - a surprise to an otherwise healthy Mr Parker, whose only malaise could have been outrage fatigue.
