The problem is that our little Johnny Neanderthal has some mighty large and lubricious coal mining penii deeply embedded in his arsehole. The Oz GovCo is addicted to energy and minerals, and shamefully most of it is under foreign control (directly or indirectly). Almost the entire house of cards which is the Australian "miracle" of economic prosperity is geared on these royalties. Nothing will change until the current GovCo is removed from office. Expect to see a lively debate on energy in the months leading up to the elections. Even with a new GovCo nothing much will change in the short term. One good thing about the GD (great drying) underway here is that it will see put to the ethanol/agri-energy goons, thus helping to steer the debate towards geothermal, wind, solar etc.
