Eh, Labor's policy here is weak, but it's something. Politically speaking, I think the Greens would have come out looking to the uninformed public like the bad guys, and there would at least be some merit to that claim. This isn't like Rudd's climate policy where he refused any compromise and came to the Senate with a proposal that even their own modelling said would take over 20 years to produce any effect and would require paying polluters if we wanted to ratchet it up.
The Albanese government has given some pretty good concessions here. Not perfect, but good enough to be worth passing, while continuing to fight for more in the future.
