'Economic self-harm': Peta Credlin on Australia's politics of 'climate and identity'

The article discusses Peta Credlin's critique of Australia's current political landscape, focusing on what she perceives as economic self-harm due to the government's policies on climate change and identity politics. Credlin, a former chief of staff to ex-Prime Minister Tony Abbott, argues that the push towards net zero emissions and the adoption of renewable energy sources like wind and solar are not only economically damaging but also impractical. She criticizes the government for what she sees as an overemphasis on identity politics, suggesting that these policies are more about virtue signaling than addressing real economic or social issues. Credlin believes that these initiatives are leading Australia down a path of economic decline, as they increase costs for businesses and consumers, potentially driving industries offshore to countries with less stringent environmental regulations. Her commentary reflects a broader conservative critique of modern environmental and social policies, advocating for a return to more traditional energy sources and a focus on economic stability over what she describes as ideological pursuits.
