Sick of this line that the Greens should have backed Rudd's CPRS. Rudd refused to even meet with Brown to discuss it. Point blank refused.

@BernardKeane and if the only rebuttal is they were miffed bc Rudd wouldn't meet and therefore justified in voting no, that's pretty weak1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@johnnicolay that's another old line. Not about ego. Brown sought amendments to secure Greens support. Rudd refused to discuss. Simple.1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

@BernardKeane All true, but at the end of the day, it was the Gvt scheme or nothing, and the Greens voted for nothing.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@BernardKeane Lots of complicated programs are imperfect at first and subsequently amended. Much easier, much less political heat.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
@johnnicolay the only direction the CPRS would have gone in was further neutering, not improvement. that was trajectory under Labor.

@BernardKeane I suspect diff, but I have no evidence. Also, short term effect on Aust emissions was NOT most imp reason to have CPRS in 20100 replies 0 retweets 0 likesThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
