Greens leader Richard Di Natale has made a plea to Labor to work with his party on climate change policy and election campaigning 'to get climate policy on track' and 'defeat the Coalition' auspol
Labor's review of the 2019 election also blamed the Stop Adani convoy, led by former Greens leader Bob Brown, for costing the ALP votes in Queensland.
But Senator Di Natale said he wanted to see "the current fractious relationship" between the two parties end. "I actually believe that we've got a very narrow window in which to act [on climate change]." "If we had a co-operative working relationship ... we might actually reach an understanding about how we best work together to defeat the [Coalition]."Senator Di Natale said a formal arrangement to avoid three-cornered contests was not necessary. Asked about Labor's view that it does not need the Greens to form government, the Greens leader replied: "That's clearly the assessment they've made. I think it's the wrong assessment.
"The Greens always seem to choose the ploy for political power over actual progress on environmental issues."
