@ajsadauskas @australianpolitics I don’t believe it’s an honest policy though. Sure, some zealots in the party and their supporters at Sky News etc. truly believe it can happen, but most of them probably realise it’s hogwash. So I have to assume that the point is (if they were elected, God forbid) to spend a good decade delaying closure of coal plants and scrapping as much renewable transition as possible until they finally “find out” that the economics don’t make sense. Probably some good consultancy money for mates in the meantime…
Seems cynical, I know, but I just can’t believe they are acting in good faith. As you say, it’s just too dumb…
@nixCraft@mastodon.social Speculation I’ve seen points more to Mozilla potentially worrying that after this antitrust case that’s ongoing, Google may not be able to pay other companies (Mozilla, Apple, etc.) to be the default search engine. So potentially more seeing that the money might dry up
