And you reckon Brown will not have any influence on policy? Come on lets be real here..........from the "agreement"
5. Working relationships
5.1 The following arrangements will govern the working relationship between the Greens and the ALP for the duration of the 43rd Parliament. These arrangements may be altered by mutual agreement.
a) When Parliament is in session, the Prime Minister will meet with Senator Brown and Mr Bandt each sitting week, principally to discuss and negotiate any planned legislation.
b) When Parliament is not in session, the Prime Minister, or her delegate, will meet with Senator Brown and Mr Bandt, or their delegate, at least once each fortnight, principally to discuss the upcoming legislative agenda.
c) The Government will endeavour to give at least six working days notice of the introduction of legislation to the House.
d) If the Greens Party Room has not considered legislation, the vote of Mr Bandt on legislation to facilitate its promulgation should not be interpreted as reflecting or determining the final position of the Greens in the Senate.
