Yes, your observation about the Greens is an important one.
It sounds like the Greens are taking a pragmatic view about carbon reduction - yes, they want more aggressive emission reductions, but they are starting to realise that politics is about comprimise, and if they want to avoid a stalement (which is what we have at the monent), a temporary more moderate deal would break the impasse.
Remember, if the Greens and Labour do a deal on carbon reduction, it will pass.
Of course, the large players in the energy sector will have already realised (a long time ago), that we are heading for a lower carbon economy at some stage. This is why ESG is in the play.
remember David Knox' expression about gas - a 'carbon light' fuel.
Santos know which was the wind is blowing. And so do others like Origin, AGL and BG.
