On climate issues, Australia is the worst of the G20.

This does not surprise me; Australia's government has been run by outright planet-roasters for many years, and the official opposition is not much better. Most Australians have allowed themselves to be bamboozled by the short-term issues of "jobs" and "the economy", and ignored their long-term survival.

The cause seems to be the power of a planet-roaster media baron, Murdoch.

I wonder if the great fires of last summer taught Australians anything.
