Australia is basically Tatooine at this point, ruled over by mining industry titans like Gina the Hutt. Supported by creepy private school kids in board rooms.
Remember that time we had a carbon tax and it was one of the most effective carbon reduction policies ever? That lasted about 5 minutes before the mining companies banshee cry deafened us all and we got one of the most regressive and wasteful governments voted in who immediately repealed it amongst a lot of other shitfuckery. Great times.
