Welcome to What the Flux Unpacked! Where we go deeper into the juiciest business story of the week.

Today, we’re unpacking NextDC, the data centre giant whose shares plunged 40% in a single day.

We dive into how angry locals, blocked power poles, and a delayed Melbourne project sent investors into a panic, and why the biggest challenge in the AI boom might not be building data centres, but getting communities to let you.
