- •One Nation leader commented on immigration ploys, paralleling Trump’s methods amidst the looming climate irony.
In a breathtaking act of climate betrayal, Australia's Alpine ski resorts in New South Wales and Victoria smashed July temperature records by soaring up to 12°C above average. Mount Hotham and Falls Creek bragged about their new hottest daytime and nighttime highs, while Thredbo didn't want to be left out and bagged the hottest July day crown, according to the Bureau of Meteorology. Meanwhile, politicians like One Nation's leader tried to one-up Trump’s immigration tactics, complaining about ‘ploys to stay’ while likely enjoying the ironic irony of snow resorts melting quicker than legislative promises. Summer feels winter’s FOMO.
