Professor Judith Brett (pictured) talked about the changing political landscape on Saturday morning at the annual iDEA Conference, organized by the Australian arm of Doctors for the Environment.

Professor Brett, who wrote the Quarterly Essay, "The Coal Curse", said the new Federal Opposition had almost made itself irrelevant, particular when its leader, Peter Dutton, elected to avoid the recent jobs summit.

The iDEA conference was held at the University of Melbourne.
