@jhaue well that’s great. I complained to my local member, Kristy McBain (Eden Monaro), about fossil fuel support and her staffers blew me off talking about how important the diesel fuel rebate was to the mining industry. From that I got the impression that the #ALP is not interested in accounting for fossil fuel subsidies or doing anything about reining them in.
