by "source of truth" we are referring to the PM?
Yep - you know, she stood up and said if you don't hear it from the horses mouth then it's not true.
The ETS has been around since 2002 and successive governments have been tinkering with it over the years, maybe you could mention which part of it was sheer incompetence on her part?

The "quick buck" issue has more to do with the typical landowner who prioritises ROI from their efforts, which is more aligned to NACT ideology.
I am referring to farmers not being permitted to include natives, riparian planting, shelter belts etc. in the carbon sequestration equation - it's only pine trees, and if you've ever walked through a pine plantation it's effectively scorched earth underneath the canopy.
