    Here's what the Greens and labor have agreed to

    * establishing a Climate Change Committee by September 2010 composed of relevant experts and representative parliamentarians from all sides who are committed to tackling climate change and who acknowledge that reducing carbon emissions by 2020 will require a price on carbon. (Leader of the Opposition Tony Abbott has indicated that Coalition members would not sit on such a Committee);
    * establishing a Parliamentary Budget Office within the Parliamentary Library;
    * establishing a Leaders? Debate Commission;
    * establishing a Parliamentary Integrity Commissioner;
    * agreeing to investigate ways of ensuring full three year terms of government;
    * agreeing to address dental care in the 2011-12 Budget;
    * reform to political donations and election campaigns;
    * agreeing that an implementation study for High Speed Rail should be completed by July 2011;
    * holding a referendum to recognise Aborigines and Local Government in the Constitution;
    * holding a full Parliamentary debate on Afghanistan; and
    * introducing a number of reforms to parliamentary processes such as Question Time.


    Clearly earth shattering matters.
