  • The Greens leader has put the prime minister on notice that his party would seek "in advance" to lock in a "stable and progressive" deal with Labor to form a potential minority government.

Adam Bandt, the leader of the Australian Greens, has proposed a formal power-sharing agreement with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in anticipation of a potential minority government following the next federal election. Bandt emphasized the need for a structured deal to ensure stability and effective governance, highlighting the possibility of the Greens holding the balance of power. He suggested that such an arrangement could involve policy commitments on key issues like climate change, housing, and social justice. This proposal comes as recent polls indicate a decline in support for the major parties, increasing the likelihood of a hung parliament. Bandt's push for a formal agreement aims to avoid the instability seen in previous minority governments and to leverage the Greens' influence to push for progressive policies.
