Nationals Hijack Climate Policy; NSW Fight Fires, Lie Down

KEY POINTS

•Victoria’s premier and prime minister announced early services starting November 30, more than a week ahead of schedule.
•A storm system continued affecting eastern New South Wales while the western parts faced extreme fire dangers.
•The Nationals reportedly influenced the Liberal Party’s energy and climate policies, causing concern among communities.
•Locals questioned the Coalition’s actions, worried these moves could lose them key electoral seats.

In a move that seems rushed like a Black Friday sale but with more smoke, Victoria’s premier and the prime minister announced new services kicking off November 30, more than a week ahead of schedule. Meanwhile, New South Wales is starring in a ‘fire danger meets storm system’ mashup, with the west flirting with total fire bans while the east gets drenched. Adding political spice, an energy policy now apparently ghostwritten by the Nationals has everyone wondering if the Liberal Party handed them the pen and asked for disaster. One dismayed local asked, 'Why would the Coalition sabotage seats like mine?' Climate action critics are not impressed, but the tweets are gold.

When your energy policy looks like a bad group project and NSW's west is basically Tinder for wildfires, Australia's politics just swiped left on climate sense.
