Tony Abbott wanted to
be known as Australia’s “infrastructure Prime Minister”.
And now it seems like he has that title, but for all the
wrong reasons.
Australia had built a world-leading climate change
mitigation infrastructure and then upon being elected in 2013, Mr Abbott and
his coalition cohorts tore that piece of essential infrastructure apart.
His handy-work had not gone unnoticed around the world and
he is seen by many to be among the world’s worst climate villains,
The American magazine, Mother
Jones has written a story headed: “One of the World's Worst Climate
Villains Could Soon Be Booted From Office”.
The kicker to the main headline says: “Australia: Your long national Knightmare may soon be over.”
“Knightmare” is in recognition of the fact that Mr Abbott
dragged his country back into the past when he reinstated Knights and Dames, to
reinforce Australia’s forelock tugging approach to Great Britain. And then to
worsen and already troubling national trajectory he had taken the country on,
Mr Abbott made a “captain’s call” and handed out a Knighthood to England’s
Prince Phillip.
