Australian here: believe me, we would love to move to renewable and generally more sustainable energy sources. However our current government has this obsession with coal. This has lead to stunts such as an MP saying “coal is good for Australians”, and bringing a lump of coal to parliament. The current conservative government desperately trying to approve the Adani coal mine despite the consistently falling price and demand for coal and the fact that they would need to seriously damage the Great Barrier Reef to build it. Another MP wearing a hi-vis vest of a coal mine into parliament, the current government spouting all sorts of lies about “clean coal” and how “nobody really cares about climate change”.
