The only firming that is viable is reciprocating engines and gas turbines. This will be so for at least another decade or two no matter what happens.

There are not many good pumped storage sites and not enough raw Hydro capacity (water at altitude) to firm all the wind and solar RE that is planned.

AGL Somerton and Barker Inlet are money printers in the constrained capacity world we are making for ourselves.

After 5 years of blackouts the political will will return to extend the life of the nations Coal fleet and embrace SMR's for growth.

I doubt AGL will be on that track though so bye bye AGL. It was good knowing you as a vendor.
