In this week's Deep Dive, hack speaks to residents living near a data centre, and takes a look at the logistics of data centre expansion across the country.

Plus, we speak to independent Senator for the ACT David Pocock. He reckons Australia is rushing into this boom without the proper safeguards.

Guests:

  • David Pocock, independent Senator for the ACT
