Why now?
6Yea I'm not sure, I just know Penny Wong did that shit a few months ago, and now this.
This government isn't really a bleeding heart kind of left, so I doubt it's because of ideological considerations.
More likely it's some kind of political calculation based on the Trump presidency, geopolitical skullduggery, or domestic politics between them and the greens.
