Green-again Turnbull starts down a familiar path

For Malcolm Turnbull, attempting to be "green-again" is a dangerous but necessary risk.

Australia's PM Malcolm Turnbull, attempting to
be green again is a dangerous by necessary risk.

Avoiding it for so long has hastened his popular descent. Avoiding it indefinitely was unthinkable.

Action that many within his party room do not believe is needed, and to which some remain implacably opposed.
