Boofhead Bowen changes tack as often as the wind changes. One week he supports new gas and a more streamlined approval process. Then next week his government partners in the Senate, The Greens, tell their leader, the communist Bandt, to demand that Bowen retract that statement and return to the decade+ minimum approval and appeals and project development process for all gas projects, onshore and offshore, through to first production.
Obviously this is a case of the dog's tail, Bandt, wagging the dog. Without the 13 Greens (D Pocock and Luny Lydia included) Labor cannot pass legislation.
