The Coalition would cancel offshore wind zones, scrap climate laws for heavy industry and car makers, and attempt to lift the ban on nuclear if it wins power.
Its energy plan formalises a commitment to slow down renewables and jettison several core emissions reductions policies.
The Coalition has urged states to reconsider the ban on nuclear, which it says could be used to power massive expansion of AI data centres across the country.

”Australia is a lucky country run mainly by second rate people who share its luck. It lives on other people’s ideas, and, although its ordinary people are adaptable, most of its leaders (in all fields) so lack curiosity about the events that surround them that they are often taken by surprise.”
Donald Horne is still pretty spot on when it comes to our mainstream politics bar a few exceptions.
As to your other comments, I’d say the pollies in question are definitely on the foolish side and only care about power. To drag themselves to PHON level is pretty nausea-making.
Capitalism is a death cult.

Well, some say that the droughts and floods are the result of anthropogenic climate change, while others say it is the Almighty punishing us for tolerating gay people and/or violating the Sabbath, so who’s to say who’s right?
Surely it’s got to be the Iron Age goat farmers who obviously knew the sky was a dome but didn’t know Australia existed.
