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.
