Australia recently voted enough greens and teals to both houses to say they want energy insecurity and poverty for the rest of us. It doesn't really matter whether they're doing this out of ignorance or just plain evil, I think we're all going to suffer. When they stop affordable and reliable energy, it should not surprise that we're left with unaffordable and unreliable energy. And more unaffordable and unreliable energy is not the solution, as much as they tell us it is.

I wouldn't want to be the party in Federal or State government when they can't provide us with reliable and affordable energy, because the sun shines and wind blows only intermittently. If we are still in a similar situation (regular threats of energy outages) next winter, they would've wasted an entire year and their electability would plummet.

The Federal government is protecting coal and gas because they are one of only a few things keeping the country afloat. Can't fund their projects without them.

So not baffled at all as to why the government appears to be helping foreigners and not locals. Foreigners keeping us afloat. And enough locals voted for domestic energy insecurity and poverty on the rest of us. Makes plenty of sense.
