So long as the Greens dictate the rules at Federal and State level, there will be no drilling, conventional or otherwise for oil or gas:
Senator Shoebridge could not have been more emphatic when he said,
"Greens Senator David Shoebridge says the party wants to keep “coal and gas in the ground” when it comes to negotiating Labor’s climate policy."
So, I reckon the so called lapsing of the drilling ban in Victoria, just means that they will put us off forever using technicalities.
Beholden to the Greens is a knock out blow to all hydrocarbon explorers.
