Climate Change and YSSY crosswinds?
Or maybe it's because the people who would be in charge of commissioning such large scale national projects, the Federal Government, are dyed in the wool denialists who cling to fossil fuels and will avoid being seen to support renewables at any cost?
Which party built Splityard Creek pumped hydro storage back in 1984?
Which party cancelled the building of Wolffdene Dam causing massive water shortages in SE Qld and has refused Federal money for new dams in Qld for the last four years?
"mega pumped hydro storage" is valuable but restricted as to sites - many of the best ones are along way from the users so you incur transmission losses - and it's not much use in say the Netherlands or Denmark.

From today’s newspaper. A Qantas executive suggests the higher cancellation rate is due climate change.
Federal government aviation data shows that in September, 76.2 per cent of flights across all airlines landed on time, compared to the long-term average of 82.3 per cent. On-time departures averaged 78.4 per cent, compared to a long-term average of 83.7 per cent. Cancellation rates were also up at 2.2 per cent compared to 1.5 per cent over the long term, and Qantas cancelled 3.3 per cent of flights in the month.
