CANBERRA (London Post with ABC news) Dr. Majid Khan -The Green Party says it will not support a coalition government if the party holds the balance of power after this month’s elections in New South Wales.


At the start of Saturday’s campaign, the NSW Greens outlined a list of seven priorities for the next parliament, including banning unjust evictions, tackling climate change and gambling reform.

House of Lords member Kate Furman said the March 25 poll was a “powerful opportunity” to make a difference in the state.

More than half of party candidates in the House of Councilors are women, and all “winnable” seats in the House of Representatives are also women.

“This election gives us a golden opportunity to make a difference to the people of New South Wales and to the existing environment. Because there is.” Senator Fuhrman. short hair woman speaking into microphone

Cashless Her gambling has become a touchstone of the campaign as the government promises to introduce legislation and the Labor Party has announced trials in some pubs and clubs.

Fehrmann said he would not settle for “half-baked measures” such as “process of fate” if the Greens came to power after the election.

He commented on the rise of ‘turquoise’ independents in Australian politics, saying voters don’t know ‘where they’re going’ if parliament is hanged.

Balmain MP Jamie Parker has retired and the party has backed her Kobi Shetty of Inner West Alderman for the downtown seat.

The Greens now have three of her members in the Senate.

Leon said the election was an opportunity to change New South Wales’s “toxic political culture”. She said recent elections show that power sharing is essential to the formation of government.

“The days when one of the old political parties insisted on absolute mandate are finally over,” she said.

Leon said the party “does not support the liberal central government of Perrotet”.

“But with our support for the Mins Labor government comes the hope that we will see real action for the change that our communities and those on the streets are calling for.” she said.
