With Covid comes the perfect opportunity to shift Australia's economy away from fossil fuel

(The Guardian, 22 Aug 2020) And yet the Morrison government remains focused on a gas-led recovery, which is no recovery at all

enever confronted with a tragedy in your life, one of the hardest aspects to deal with is that life goes on – work continues, other events occur, bills need to be paid, the world keeps on turning. It can actually be a struggle to realise that even though you are feeling dreadful, other problems and tasks remain to be addressed.

So it is with the Covid-19 pandemic.

The world’s economy has been struck by an utterly tragic event that has wrecked lives and businesses. Not surprisingly, it has focused all our attention.

It would be nice if, with all the economic destruction, the loss of lives and massive disruption to people’s relationships, the rest of the world’s problems stopped and allowed us to just focus on this one issue.
