I'm hoping that labour can see the writing on the wall for this one and implement it properly. They will lose seats if they don't. I get the impression that a particular ACT senator is quite concerned about this danger.

My guess is they're playing politics and will use it during the next election cycle as a tool against one nation. Alternatively we could stop playing this petty speculative politics game, vote in the greens and get shit done.

Greg will be running for government soon enough, after he cashes his gas shares in.
