We've made some strides on the renewables front yes but it's never been enough. We're still increasing our carbon output year on year, due mostly to the political willpower for renewables simply not existing. Two years ago we had a prime minister who didn't acknowledge climate change. The fact that we've got any renewables at all is simply because of the economics of it. We get so much sun it's impossible for us to not lead the world on solar, and yet our government still drags their feet on renewables (yes, even Labor are barely any better on environmental issues).
