This might be about to change as Australia has an election due in the next few week. The current government is very much pro-coal and have spent the last six years working hard to hinder the renewable sector. The opposition is much more renewable friendly. The polls suggest there is a growing mood in the community for action on climate change, which might see the current government removed. Time will tell. However if the current government do manage to hang on then Australia's love of coal will definitely continue for at least the next three years.
