PM Abbott's steep Senate learning curve
Australian Greens Leader Senator Christine Milne has welcomed the Prime Minister's comments this morning about navigating the new Senate with respect, but says he will face a steep learning curve if that respect extends only to conservative Senators.
Mr Abbott stated that the Greens have lost the balance of power and that this was a ‘great political achievement for the Coalition'.
"I wonder what the rest of Australia thinks about Prime Minister Abbott taking credit for the bizarre make-up of the new Senate," Senator Milne said.
