Greens/ALP Deal close

Well colour me green and give me a tree to hug. Labor and the Greens are on the verge of a comprehensive preference deal that would boost the government’s prospects of holding on to power while helping the Greens achieve the balance of power in the Senate. If you think the Greens achieving balance or power in the Senate is a good thing you don’t read enough. Closing down coal mines and coal powered generators only works when there is an alternative and we’re not quite there yet.
