Australia is not much better!
Barest minimum on action while continuing to approve 30+ more #FossilPollution projects!
And that's supposed to be our so-called progressive party, who abandoned most of it's progressive policies, having bought into #neoliberal #TrickleUp for 3 decades!

This is the sort of shit they want to fast track in AU w/o environmental protections!
On the dryest continent they'll steal water & pay little for it, but drive up water costs for everyone else!
They'll also put pressure on energy sector forcing use of tons more #FossilPollution for much longer!
