The Opposition Leader has rejected an offer from the Greens to form a Julia Gillard-era coalition to take on climate change.
At a media conference in Adelaide on Wednesday, Bill Shorten vowed that there would be ‘no coalition with the Greens.
' Mr Shorten says ‘we’re not for switching because some independent MP or some Green MP is suffering relevance deprivation’, despite Greens Leader Richard Di Natale’s promise to work ‘constructively and collaboratively’. Image: News Corp Australia

Labor's childcare subsidy will see fees 'skyrocket': Birmingham | Sky News AustraliaLiberal Party campaign spokesman Simon Birmingham says Bill Shorten’s childcare subsidy plan will only push prices up, not relieve the cost burden on Australian families. \n\nHe told Sky News that ‘the last time Labor tipped billions into the childcare sector, it saw fees skyrocket’ because ‘the companies simply took the money, pocketed it, and families were no better off'. \n\nMr Birmingham also defended his party’s preference deal with Clive Palmer’s United Australia Party, saying ‘Australia has a compulsory preferential voting system and if you’re not voting Liberal or National, there’s not a lot to choose from’. \n\nHe says ‘we’re obviously not going to give preferences to the racist policies of Fraser Anning, or to One Nation, not the irrational economics of the Greens, and certainly not to Bill Shorten who has $378 billion of higher taxes’. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n
