“They’re sold as our personal way of saving the planet,” Laim Bartlett said in an April 2025 7 News Australia documentary titled ‘China’s EV shame: the deadly reality behind the ‘clean, green’ electric vehicles’.

“But the truth of electric vehicles makes a mockery of their sales pitch to protect our children’s future … environmental devastation.”

7 News Spotlight is a series of investigative specials from 7 News Australia that focuses on major breaking news events and long-form investigations of national significance.

In April, Spotlight released a documentary about the dirty truth behind so-called “clean, green” electric vehicles (”EVs”) and how China is getting away with causing a toxic environmental catastrophe.

Reporter Liam Bartlett was smuggled into Indonesia’s Morowali Industrial Park, the world’s largest nickel processing facility, producing 50% of global nickel supply.

“Having returned from witnessing what must rank as one of the world’s worst industrial landscapes, all in the name of the ‘green EV revolution’, I can safely say that anyone who genuinely cares for the future of the planet would be horrified by the damage that is being done by our northern neighbour, Indonesia, with the financial backing of China,” he said.

He went on to describe how the EV sector’s reliance on fossil-fuel fired power stations and nickel from Indonesia, produced with lax environmental and labour standards, undermines its “green” reputation.

Indonesia’s nickel mining complexes, backed by China’s Belt and Road initiative, have devastating environmental and health impacts, including air and water pollution, respiratory illnesses and fatalities among labourers, he said.

The Australian government’s inaction and subsidies for Chinese EV makers, despite the loss of 7,000 jobs in Australia’s nickel industry, highlight a lack of leadership and hypocrisy in promoting a “green” future.

While previously it was a hobby culminating in writing articles for Wikipedia (until things made a drastic and undeniable turn in 2020) and a few books for private consumption, since March 2020 I have become a full-time researcher and writer in reaction to the global takeover that came into full view with the introduction of covid-19. For most of my life, I have tried to raise awareness that a small group of people planned to take over the world for their own benefit. There was no way I was going to sit back quietly and simply let them do it once they made their final move.
