Well that’s just fcukibg depressing :(
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says Labor has shelved plans to pass its contentious nature positive environmental laws before the election.
The decision comes after fierce resistance from West Australian Premier Roger Cook and sections of the mining industry.
Drill, baby, drill!
JFC, if Albanese was an ice-cream he’d be plastic spoon flavoured.
They really are trying to hand this election to Dutton aren’t they.
Mr Albanese and Labor got elected because of a perfect storm in WA where we had a massive anti-Liberal period. Everyone knows that the storm has mostly passed, but until the WA election next month, we won’t know how much support Labor still really has in WA.
This resistance will be all about not rocking the boat four weeks out from a state election. We learned in 2009 how quickly and powerfully the Mining industry can shift the needle of public opinion on a policy that affects them.
This way, they can bring it back in a few months.

Yet another example that we live in corporate dictatorships masquerading as “democracy”.
Sure, you can vote for whoever you want, but a statistical majority of names on the ballot at the state and federal level are groomed, financed and pre-approved by the wealthiest oligarchs and corporations.
May be we should stop voting for “big” parties. If we have a diversity in parament, it will me much harder to buy them all (or may be simpler)
just so gutless
