The Greens are pressing ahead nevertheless:
You can catch up on the plebiscite story here.

Mr Turnbull goes on to accuse the opposition of being less interested in marriage equality than "in wringing every ounce of political gain out of this debate".
Mr Shorten asks Mr Turnbull to respond to concerns that a plebiscite would cause mental distress to LGBTI people.
"I'm quite satisfied that the Australian people are capable of having a civil discussion. I recognise and have some understanding of the additional mental stresses...among the gay community," Mr Turnbull says.
"Nonetheless this is a big issue that concerns all Australians and we believe all Australians should have their say."
Opposition Leader Bill Shorten asks Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull if he stands by his election promise that people will not pay more for doctors' visits.
Mr Turnbull prefers to talk about "militant unions" and his success in defending volunteer firefighters in Victoria.
Question time - now only five minutes away.
