In recent years, Australia has been hit hard by climate change, not least in 2019 by the huge forest fires.
The country has also had several floods.
- It is impossible to avoid talking about the climate.
It is clear that people are affected, but it is also a country where the coal industry is protected, says Ulrika Bergsten.
Australia is one of the countries that exports the most coal in the world, including to India.
- It is a problem to discuss the climate issue here because it is often a matter of losing jobs if you leave the fossil fuels by investing in renewable energy.
The climate issue constantly returns to being about wallet issues and jobs.
"Scott Morrison has keyed in"

On Saturday, he has the opportunity to continue another term.
- It is actually not completely impossible.
From the beginning, it looked like his main opponent, Anthony Albanese for the Labor party, would win quite easily, but Scott Morrison has keyed in recently, says Ulrika Bergsten.
