"Commentators have branded last night’s federal budget as an attempt to win
over typical Australian voters concerned about the cost of living, ahead of
what is expected to be a tightly fought federal election.
The budget’s big-ticket items included tax cuts and energy bill relief, plus
measures to make childcare and healthcare cheaper.
There was little in the budget dedicated to stemming Australia’s environmental
crises. Given this, one might assume the average voter cares little for action
on conservation and curbing climate change. But is this true?
Polling suggests the clear answer is “no”. Voters consistently say they want
more government action on both conservation and climate change. As the federal
election looms, Labor is running out of time to show it cares about Australia’s
precious natural environment."
