“On Wednesday, the Liberal senator Leah Blyth said: “I don’t think that we can be stewards of the environment if we can’t afford it.”

The climate crisis is expensive: net zero is cheaper for Australia than not doing more
The Coalition claims net zero by 2050 will cost too much – but unchecked warming or even a delayed transition would be worse for the economy

This is quite the way of saying 'there is no evidence of CIA involvement in the Whitlam dismissal'.
The 1975 “dismissal” of Australian Labor PM Gough Whitlam is often seen as a constitutional crisis initiated by an old British-led establishment.
In reality, it was a bloodless analog of other US-orchestrated coups against reforming left governments.
