I ain't no Labor fan, far from it but this would be an absolute nightmare scenario for Australia if the Greens hold the balance of power and Labor commit to this. Australia needs either a LNP or ALP Government and nothing whatsover that involves the poisonous Greens to have stable Government.
Greens leader Adam Bandt says a power-sharing deal with Labor would usher in a “golden era of progressive reform”.
Speaking in Melbourne on Thursday, Mr Bandt said the upcoming federal election “could result in a minority parliament that could see us getting dental and mental health into Medicare, being able to go and see the GP for free, building homes that renters and first-home buyers can afford, wiping student debt and fully funding our public schools”.
“With commentators predicting a 98 per cent chance of a minority parliament, voters in Wills have a real chance to keep Peter Dutton out but also get Labor to act on the key crises that are facing the community,” Mr Bandt said.
The Greens leader’s comments come after he told the Guardian: “A minority parliament can keep Peter Dutton out and get those progressive reforms that I think will set the country up for generations.”
The latest Freshwater Strategy poll on Australians’ preferred party shows the Coalition leading Labor by 51 per cent to 49 per cent for the second month in a row.
If replicated at the ballot box this year, Labor would be unable to form a majority government on its own.
