Apparently the factory was approved despite the public's wishes.

And to the surprise of noone.

“If the decision is not to allow the factory to proceed it won’t harm Elon Musk’s interests because Tesla will just set up somewhere else in Australia that’s more welcoming,” he said.

It's the whole, "we don't need to cut down our pollution because people are polluting a lot more elsewhere" BS excuse again. Let Tesla build their shitty factory wherever they are actually well received, and watch them get shafted when Tesla goes under within 4 years.

He shouldn't be denied it based on being a fuckwit, but I think it's perfectly reasonable for them to not do business with a nazi.
