The Greens say they will not support a Coalition government in New South Wales, but the Labor Party still needs to convince them it is 'worth supporting' after this month's election.
Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume.Cate Faehrmann labels NSW election an 'opportunity to make change' at Greens' campaign launchabc.net.au/news/greens-seek-balance-of-power-after-nsw-election/102084236The Greens say they will not support a Coalition government if the party holds the balance of power after this month's New South Wales election.
At a campaign launch today, the NSW Greens outlined a list of seven priorities for the next parliament including banning no-grounds evictions, action to address climate change, and gambling reforms. More than half of candidates on the party's upper house ticket are women, as are all of its candidates for "winnable" lower house seats.
Ms Faehrmann said if the Greens did hold the sway of power after the election, they would not settle for "half measures" such as a "trial that has been set up to fail".
