Australian governments are meant to represent the interests of Australians, not multinational gas corporations.

"...Rio Tinto says wind, solar and battery storage offer the cheapest and most reliable energy option...energy landscape in Australia will never be the same, and the baseload and nuclear arguments can finally disappear back to where they belong – in the last century."
