Adam Bandt:
“I congratulate the prime minister on his campaign and the strong position that they have got in government at the moment but what it means is that, with the Greens in sole balance of power in the #Senate at the moment, the government can’t blame other individual senators for not being able to get things through.
The only barrier to getting #dental into #Medicare now and passing it through the parliament is #labor.
The only obstacle to making #childcare #free is Labor.
The only obstacle to stopping new #coal and #gas #mines from being opened is Labor. We stand ready in the Senate to make this the most progressive parliament that Australia has seen.”
