a bizzaire political divide has arisen in Australia where a Koala divide has manifested between coalition partners which may tear the political fabric apart in the most populous state. What is it all about? noone really knows. An obscure piece of legislation requiring farmers to look after koalas is at the centre, and what is more obscure is that the warring factions are conservative and not given to environmental nonsense. The most conservative party, the Nationals, the representatives of the regional areas, and junior coalition partner, has withdrawn support, refusing to support coalition legislation.
This can only be put down to CV madness, there must be more important things to argue about, like why not to allow plague ridden Victorians north of the border any time soon and undoing the damage brought about by fires before the pandemic struck
