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banshee cry deafened us all and we got one of the most regressive and wasteful governments voted in who immediately repealed it amongst a lot of other shitfuckery.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.
I remember very well. We also went from investing in fibre internet to calling the first female PM a witch.
Sounds like a cautionary tale Canada should listen to. We have an election sort of coming up. I really don’t want to lose our carbon tax.

Come on Australia, we can’t let Russia be number one!
The current plan for reducing fossil fuel exports to 0 as soon as possible is to dig it all out of the ground and sell it as quickly as possible. Truly genius if you think about it
