They have encouraged fossil fuel exploration at a time when its apparent that the dominance of fossil fuels is near an end and wouldn't be profitable anyway. They have also looked to introduce seabed mining one of the most controversial mining practices globally that many countries are banning. They have also encouraged the intensification of dairy even after the price had collapsed and again at the expense of the environment and in particular water quality.
And yet they are still popular and poll strongly, so this is evidence that people don't care how their policies impact the country, socially or environmentally as I stated.
