Cause they never, ever even believed in global heating. It's just a straight cynical political manipulation that aims to prevent any real action and keep selling coal. Australian government literally does not want to solve this.

the cynical move is to let the effort of others build your own safety net, while maximizing your own network control and immediate income lots of finger pointing about this, yet so many are guilty at once right?

>Cause they never, ever even believed in global heating. Sure some of them do. They're just not willing to lift a finger to do anything about it.

  Why lift one little finger when you can be king of the ashes?

    To a non-aussie, the polititian speak is pretty darn bizarre. On the first read, I thought you were describing a physical assault...

      Our system elects Members of Parliament (MPs), who then choose the Prime Minister(PM) from the pool of MPs. However what that means is that at any point the MPs from the majority party can oust the PM and change them out with another MP. This has become more common recently with several of our sitting PM's being 'knifed' aka backstabbed in recent years.

They do believe in global heating. They just don't care. They reckon they, their kids, and their friends will be fine anyway. Who care what happens to billions dirty, poor foreigners? It high time that we realise that it never was a good faith discussion about facts. It's only about power. The rich people that have a lot invested in fossil fuels risk becoming less rich, and they are using all means necessary to not let that happen, or at least delay it as much as possible
