It’s also a national embarrassment according to the government treasurer who likened it to Australia’s tourist stop big things such as The Big Banana.

What I love about it is that it’s forcing the governments hand. They have vested interests in the coal industry but cannot continue to overlook this when electricity prices are so high in Australia.

The South Australian government at the time did an incredible thing. They gave the national government the middle finger, in a live-televised conference no less: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-03-16/josh-frydenberg-jay-we...
