The ETS… to be, or not to be?

The opposition has made it clear - “NO ETS”.

So, in another classic example of political acrobatics, it would appear that Penny Wong has done a 180 on her choice of negotiating partners.

On the 22nd of December last year… some 40 days ago, the Climate Change Minister ruled out negotiating with the Greens to get the ETS through.

And now it would appear those comments aren’t so fixed in stone after all…

Today, Penny Wong will meet with the Greens Deputy Leader to try and nut out a solution for the ETS.

I wonder what will come of it… - Will we see the Government committing to a 40% reduction by 2020 that the greens were touting last year?

Unlikely… but surely there will have to be a compromise… the question however is… What will it be….??
