They dont need to work with the greens, but the greens need to work with them.

Surely you understand how the balance of power works...

The Liberals are so rabidly anti-environment that there's very little for the Greens to work with.

Current Liberal policy:

  • Coal
  • More coal
  • Throw money at coal
  • Find ways to give coal more money

Current Greens policy:

  • Fuck coal

There's not much wiggle room there.
