Dozens of bills are set to pass the Senate in an end-of-year flurry of deals across the parliament.
The government is closing in on the passage of dozens of bills on the last day of the parliamentary year after a deal with the Greens and Senator David Pocock.
In exchange, the Greens will vote for more than two dozen bills, including Reserve Bank governance reforms, a tax credit to boost rental supply, and a supermarket code of conduct. By clearing much of the rest of the government's policy agenda, Mr Albanese now has free rein to call an election early in the new year.
