So let me see if I got this right: Essentially your Dem & Repub leaders (Labor & Liberals respectively) were both in the tank for climate change legislation & the Libs revolted within their own party to wrest control from Lib (conservative) leader Turnball.
What happens next?
from what I know, Turnbull supported a lesser version...but yes, he was in favour of the Emission Trading Scheme.
I hope he’s TOAST!
The Prime Minister will now attempt to have the ETS passed, before there’s a change of Leadership...or there could be a double dissilution of Parliament, with new elections.
My terminology may not be 100% but that how it seems.
