Albo and the "educated" left tend to diss our American ally and upvalue totalitarian China. But voters aren't fooled.
When totalitarian Xi meets Australia's "courageous" 62-70% emissions target with a derisory 7-10%, the West applauds this as a landmark. Our Ross Gittins will tell you, we're not allowed to criticise China's "huge emissions". Because their "renewables manufacturing" is saving-the-planet.
Ever since Election 2025, the Coalition has been lectured ad nauseam by the "left", you must go with the "climate science".

But net-zero isn't science. Even if China were to play ball, it's vastly arrogant, to believe human emissions can be reduced steeply, carbon captures increased dramatically, to the extent that Earth routinely "nets" our emissions to zero.
On the left however, protecting the environment is obsessively about "stopping new coal and gas". They don't care, that the likelihood of generous planetary carbon-captures is shown repeatedly to be guesswork.
Net-zero canes the West over climate "loss and damage", whilst looking away from Africa's over-population, whilst allowing China/India to ramp up the consumption/emissions of their nearly three-billions.
Ross Garnaut, always Australia's No. 1 net-zero China-dove, says it openly in a peer-reviewed UK "economics" journal. The West must deliver cargo to top-dog China, in the form of "zero emissions semi-processed goods". Which don't exist.
With Albanese's successful Washington trip removing "barnacles" and cementing his position, it hardly matters, whether the rare earth deal ever amounts to much. The Marches are merely entering the vacuum that Ley leaves. Coalescing, as a visible, democratic oppositional force to mega-migration.
The next one "celebrates" Australia Day. Maybe it should take on net-zero – Ley won't.

It ends well, for Albanese/Chalmers
In disapproving terms, media reports the Coalition "splintering". But to be "competitive", they'll largely align with Labor on mass-migration and net-zero. Thus, voters will continue to be shut out.
In Labor's Guardian world of mirrors, Australia's shift to massive migration simply never happened. A quarter-million is the "long term average".
Recall the corrupt 2023 immigration review of Martin Parkinson for Clare O'Neil. Worst productivity performance in 60 years? That would be down to "complex and interrelated" factors - never mass-migration or the net-zero derangement.
