Peter Garrett's approval of a new coal terminal in Gladstone, 1 DAY AFTER THE SUMMIT 2020!!!
My prediction is that Garrett will quit as Environment Minister, and possibly the ALP, sometime late next year, citing a complete lack of committment by the party to tackling climate change, and other environemtnal issues. He will be particularly scathing about the Prime Minister's interference in his portfolio and being unable to exert any influence on environment policy and simply being directed to approve things that his inner greenie is going apeshit over. I'm sure he must have a purging bucket in his office which he can vent into after each of these approvals and the assocaited press conferences his is forced to give.

Garrett sold his soul the moment he joined any of the Big Three. I had little time for him beforehand, and absolutely none afterwards.
