    IMO, both sides of politics have issues with Climate Change
    and the China trade relationship which will likely be played out
    at the next election.

    Labor;
    -Fitzgibbon stepped down from Labor's front bench because of the party's anti-coal stance
    Coal constituencies in New & Qld have the potential to determine who wins government in 2022, IMO
    -Labor has made itself a small target by effectively giving Morrison the nod in his anti--China stance
    which crueled barley & beef farmers etc access to China value added markets.

    Libs:
    -Libs too are jammed by climate change issues:
    -A growing number of farmers are concerned about the impact of climate change on their incomes
    -Inner city Lib seats (eg; Evans' seat of inner Brisbane & Malcolm Turnbull seat of inner Sydney)
    have a growing green young populations that favour Climate Change policies.
    -Negative trade impact from China due to Morrisons anti-China stance which precipitated the
    China trade war will, imo, alienate some bush voters#

    In a two horse race, this would likely be a zero sum game but we have the Greens, the Nats
    One Nation and a handful of independents in the flies.

    That said, both sides will likely have winners by default, imo.

    # If Morrison tries to compensate those negatively impacted by the China trade war, then this will
    simply add fuel to China's contention that some Aus farm products are subsidised by Government.
