The federal election last year we had a change in leadership from the liberal party to labour. Liberal's the conservative party and their climate change policies were non-existent. Swapping coal for gas is not going to help climate change no matter how hard they try to spin it.
Labour party is supporting more renewable energy sources and electric vehicles which would have factored into their win. From what I've heard they're are looking at electrifying buses in NSW. But compared with South Australia state building a hydrogen hub, federal government got a long way to go.
