Senator Milne criticised Labor's relationship with miners and fired a broadside at Mr Burke.

She described his decision to reject a proposal to list Tasmania's Tarkine wilderness on the National Heritage register as "pathetic".

Mr Burke has told Lateline that the Greens' move is a "political call" from a party that has not been focused on the environment for a long time.

'Good riddance'

The manoeuvring by the Greens is taking place as Labor deals with poor poll results and worsening internal divisions.

Tasmanian Labor MP Dick Adams says it is a win-win, because the Greens will still ensure the budget passes in May, but other links will go.

"Good riddance to them, as far as I'm concerned," he said.

"There's been some stifling of debate and discussion because I believe people have been worried about what the Greens think of this and that.

"I don't think that's treated Labor very well at all."

Mr Adams says the Greens' latest public statements are motivated by politics.

"They whinge and moan about party politics all the time but they're a political party and they do everything like all other political parties," he said.

"They've sent Bob Brown off to negotiate with the Liberal Party on preferences for the seat of Melbourne.

"They're in there negotiating, and grubby politics, like everybody else."

Any thoughts - would think this is all the more bullish ?
