There are some more things we can learn from Australia.
1: They’re holding a short sharp snap inquiry into their immigration settings so they can get the economy moving.
They recognise unlike our government that letting people in to do the jobs we can’t and won’t is the best way to fire up an economy
We cancel cruise ships and seasons, they’re looking at how they get them and other industries back up and running
2: They’re building a private large scale purpose built MIQ facility so they can bring more Australians back home.
We are emptying hotels because unlike Australia we let people wander round spreading virus thus leading to our facilities being booked out until June. Australia looks at ways of expanding.
3: As of Friday, the Australian government has ruled out subsidies for EVs as part of their transmission to a low emissions economy.
Our government, having rejected it too last term, is now sadly making noises that look like tax payer subsides are on the way.
Australia says subsides would not represent value for money: why can’t we see what they do?
Answer: because our government is driven by blind ideology. Australia is practical. If it works, do it, if it makes sense, do it. If it’s a waste, flag it. Good ideas stand on their own.  
The EV has never taken off for varied but obvious reasons, it they have in latter years garnered a religious like fervour among a few who have swallowed far too much Kool-Aid.
As I have said a million times, if you like them, buy them ,but don’t expect the rest of us to partially foot the bill, and that’s what governments are looking to do.
Ask yourself why they don’t stand on their own two feet. If they saved the world to such an extent, if they played such a critical role in climate change and emissions standards, if they were so much better than petrol or diesel, why hasn’t the stampede ever started?
EVs are the carbon credits of motoring: don’t actually cut your own emissions, pay someone else to do it.
Plant pine trees to collect the tax break, it’s all window dressing. Make a pledge at a conference that will never actually be enacted and just for super ironic measure take a plane or two to do it.
There is too much spin PR and green washing in the industry. Morrison sees it: I wish Ardern would too.
