The Coalition are running with the line that the Labor government has shelved the nature positive legislation because of a “Green-Teal-Labor deal’.

Which is quite hilarious, given the Greens and independent MPs known as teals are not exactly thrilled with Labor for discharging this bill once again. Labor is discharging the bill because the Coalition won’t work with them on it and Labor doesn’t want to do what the Greens want to do, even on the compromised bill.

So even though Labor is pulling the bill, it is not promising to never ever bring any legislation like it ever again, and therefore this is part of a big 4D chess game to align the Greens and independent demands in a future minority government.

Galaxy brain must be exhausting.
