       | Australia is often hit with floods and fire events almost every
       | year so they have a "everything just as it should be" feel, even
       | if they are getting worse.

       | I think Australia will often be skeptical but we do have a baby
       | state mentality so gradual changes just need to be implemented
       | and made for us.

       | Just this year there's some takes of banging single use plastic
       | for instance. (Not saying it's an effective rule or that it
       | works, just that we've implemented it and seem to be following
       | it)
