In the historic shift to the left at the last election

It wasn't a shift to the left. The Coalition abandoned the centre, allowing Labor to win by default as the only centrist major party.

the greens didn’t gain much and lost a bunch of seats

The nationwide first preference vote swing against The Greens was -0.05%. This idea that they suffered from some massive voter backlash for being "too woke" is a total myth.
