Australia unveils US$6b budget surplus, touting clean energy "transformation"

Australia has unveiled its annual budget with plans seeking to balance between reducing the cost of living pressures for citizens and boosting a shift to renewable energy in a bid to reduce its dependency on fossil fuels. Key to its green initiative is a fledgling "Made in Australia" programme that aims to jump-start homegrown clean energy and advanced manufacturing industries. Roger Maynard has more on what was in the budget.

Australia's population is around same number of Floridians, 28 million. Australia is limited by number of engineers etc etc etc. The build out would take decades and double greenhouse gases emissions. Only one thousand miles away find Australia's #1 customer. Australians have made AU$ trillions from business with this customer. Enabled purchases of mines and other assets around the world further increasing Australians economy and security. This customer currently has in operation the finest manufacturing facilities in the world for green transition. EVs solar wind batteries etc all made from materials sourced from Australia. The world's emissions are accelerating at fastest rate ever. Combined greenhouse gases PPM emissions approaching 500. We must have PEACE diplomacy statesmanship negotiations pragmatism compromise RATIONAL THINKING. Standing back from this irresponsible foolish slavish devotion to an America clearly in decline it's clearly more suicidal than the grotesque Brexit catastrophes. Why is it Caucasian nations born out of the decrepit British empire behave in such self destructive ways?
