As I and many others have stated - coal is dead and its use for electricity production will continue to decline.

If you bothered to study the AEMO report, you will find that it acknowledges that

production of electricity from coal fired power stations will DECREASE by 70% over the next 20 years

coals share of total power production will DECREASE from 40% of total to just 6% in 20 years time.

and that in 20 years time nearly every existing coal-fired power station will reach the end of its life, and AEMO does not expect new ones to be built to replace them.

as I said, coal will be around for many decades yet.

Renewables will obviously play an increasing role. Whether they will ever provide 24 hr base load is yet to be proven.
