To be fair they always had an uphill battle.

Atkinsons seat is one of the safest around - G4C's vote isn't actually half bad, they beat a large amount of minor parties and independents in the legaslative council.

Correct - public level consultation won't change anything.

The commonwealth still needs to get the unanimous approval of all states and territories and Atkinson has already started that he will never support the introduction of an R18+ classification.

He's made it an election promise and unfortunately it's almost certain that he will be re-elected (The seat of croydon is overwhelming in it's support for labor).

See the wikipedia solar energy" article and check out the insolation maps.

It varies a great deal depending on where in the world you are, but a large proportion of the worlds population falls into the "red" or "white" areas - between 180 and 300 watts per square meter.

It's really beside the point though - there are large quantities of unused land that could be turned into solar power farms. Space is hardly the primary concern.
