As an outsider, it's interesting to see how much environmentalism was a make-or-break of this election for two reasons: One, because Australian COVID policies have become such a hot issue outside the country. And two, because I think Australian politics are generally seen as still the closest thing to US politics outside the US, and we still really haven't had anything like this in terms of climate mobilization. Hopefully Australia is a leading indicator and not an exception.
I think this relationship has broken down since the Australian
right went hard COVID hawk.
