Victorian Minister Declines Support for NextDC Expansion, Flags AI Email

Victorian jobs minister Melissa Horne refused to back NextDC's Footscray M3 data-centre expansion. She accused CEO Craig Scroggie of using AI for his early-September lobbying email, pointing to basic factual errors. "I suggest that you review content produced by artificial intelligence more closely in the future," she wrote. The planning minister is still assessing the project.
