How does the Labor-Greens Alliance Work? With Chief Minister Andrew Barr | AUSPOL EXPLAINED
The ACT Government is a combination of Labor and Greens - and has been for over a decade now. Majority governments are rare and so it has become a long standing agreement between the two political parties to share the cabinet positions, with Labor getting most of them and Greens getting a few depending on their numbers. But how does it work? How do the two parties resolve their disagreements? And how does it impact election campaigns in the ACT when the two parties have different goals yet may share the co-governing fate after the election? Well, I asked the longest serving Chief Minister of the ACT, Andrew Barr, to talk about how the Labor-Greens Alliance works and to explain the Parliamentary and Governing Agreement that is created as a result.
