Australia is a massive country, difficult to understand how vast it is if you haven’t experienced it. I remember when I moved to Europe and I realised you could be blindfolded and dropped somewhere in the woods, walk any direction and within an hour you’d find civilisation. You do this in Australia and you’ll die of thirst before you find civilisation.

In many places it’s an hour+ to drive to work with nothing in between. In fact in many places you couldn’t live there without vehicles, and you certainly could do any work there.

The 11,105 premature deaths they claim came from modelling using some methodology from New Zealand. I’ve searched for it and can’t find it to verify myself so I’m left to assume it’s no different than the Imperial College of London’s Covid modelling which said Sweden would have 90,000 deaths in a few months which was orders of magnitude wrong.

So based on one woke climate cult university institution they’re implementing policy which will entirely fuck millions of people’s lives because they can’t use EVs to move goods and people the vast distances needed where people live and work.

Imagine getting bitten by a snake and rushing the 3 hours to the nearest hospital only your battery dies and there’s no fucking charging infrastructure anywhere.. That’s the kind of thing these policies just don’t consider at all.
