The Prime Minister made clear the basis of arrangements entered into with the Greens and the minors and Independents in a very public way. She has spoken about that and has been available to speak about it in the media since that time. We are now in the process of trying to make this parliament work. We will be working with all parties to advance the government’s legislative agenda and we will be looking for support around the chamber, both here and in the House of Representatives, to advance the government’s election commitments and our legislative agenda. I look forward to Senator Abetz and the opposition supporting us in much of that agenda, particularly as we look to drive our process of improving productivity, driving economic reform and improving skills and education in this country. The opposition will have the opportunity to support the government in those important objectives.
