The rare earth metals required to go 'green' are exploiting people in developing countries.

If only we could swap Albanese for a Trump. We wouldn't be subsidising EVs, home batteries etc. for the rich lefties in this benighted country.

Australia remains an idiot country, along with the UK, the EU and Canada.

We also don't care about the “blood diamond” reference that sees Africans, including women and children, risking their lives, or losing their lives, in Communist Chinese owned mines, as seen on Channel 7's Spotlight; which of course was heavily criticised by the ABC. Nothing said about a big cave-in that killed who knows how many people because they were not dug out and returned to their families. Just left there.

While the Australian government commits atrocities only on the environment, so far, Chinese miner owners on the Dark Continent are committing atrocities on human beings. The governments of African countries are apparently unbothered by it.
