Climate denial in the Senate courtesy of Pauline Hanson

One Nation’s Pauline Hanson and climate
science sceptic, Malcolm Roberts, 
No 2 on her Queensland Senate ticket.

So we’re in that post-election twilight zone where analysts, psephologists and columnists try and pull something cogent out of all the mess of uncertainty.

Who’ll be the next prime minister? Which party will lead and how will they do it? What does it all mean, and did Donald Trump have anything to do with it? What do psephologists do when there’s no election on?

And then, of course, there’s the questions over the key issue of climate change and energy policy. Where might all this leave Australia?

Right now, we don’t have much of an idea and it seems pointless to try until the results become clearer (OK, well, I’ll try a bit. If Labor gets in, then the news is better for the climate but still not good. A Coalition government will still deliver weak targets, policy uncertainty and a whiff of climate science denial on the fringes).
