Adani tells you everything you need to know about politics in Australia. The decisions by the Queensland and Federal Governments to give Adani various approvals to effectively mine a massive amount of coal is irrational. It makes no sense economically. It makes no sense environmentally. But to those involved it makes perfect political sense. Jobs, jobs and more jobs are their mantra. It is a lie to win working class support. Given the big swings against Labor in the region and to the conservatives and reactionaries, it is working. |
