1 2 Parliamentary and Governing Agreement 10th Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital Territory This Agreement is between: Andrew Barr MLA, Leader of the Australian Labor Party ACT Branch, Yvette Berry MLA, Deputy Leader of the Australian Labor Party ACT Branch The ACT Labor MLAs elected for the 10th Assembly And Shane Rattenbury MLA, ACT Greens Leader The ACT Greens MLAs elected for the 10th Assembly Shared Progressive Principles and Values The ACT Labor and ACT Greens Parliamentary and Governing Agreement for the 10th Australian Capital Territory Legislative Assembly represents the parties’ shared commitment to serve the people of the ACT. We agree to the following key priorities and outcomes, working respectfully, constructively and collaboratively as a two-party Government to govern with, for and in the best interests of Canberrans. ACT Labor and the ACT Greens have, over two previous terms, demonstrated that we can work together in government to deliver the most progressive and reformist administration in Australia. This effective collaboration is built on trust, mutual respect and our many shared values and goals. This new Agreement comes at a defining moment in our Territory’s history, and outlines a strategy to address the major social, economic and environmental challenges society faces. Together, we will focus on the fundamental challenges and opportunities facing the ACT as we emerge from a global health and economic crisis: sustainable economic development, protection and creation of secure local jobs, a healthy natural environment, closing the gap for First Nations people, rapid transition to zero net emissions while protecting households, reducing inequality and poverty, providing dignified housing to all Canberrans, and governance with integrity and transparency.

Meredith Hunter
The Hon Scott Morrison MP Prime Minister Parliament House CANBERRA ACT 2600 Dear Prime Minister We are writing with regard to the announcement by your Attorney-General Christian Porter that he is the Cabinet Minister at the centre of rape allegations. As the leader of the Australian Government you have a responsibility to set the standards for your Ministers and other members of your government. Those standards send a strong message to the country about the honesty and integrity of your government and, importantly, how it treats others. Your response to the allegations against Attorney-General Porter have raised serious concerns about the standard of behaviour that you accept from your Cabinet. When these recent events are combined with other allegations coming from Parliament House it is reasonable for the public to have a lack of confidence in the ethics of their elected representatives. Elected representatives must set a higher standard. We consider it is critical that there be an independent investigation of the allegations against Minister Porter. This matter cannot be simply brushed off with you saying you accept the word of the accused. It requires an independent assessment of the information available, so that whatever the outcome of that inquiry, the matter has been taken seriously, and the community can have confidence that when victims do speak up, they will be treated with respect, and above all, Ministers of the Crown will demonstrate the highest levels of accountability. You have openly stated that you have not read the details of this case and appear to disregard the real and terrible impact on both the direct victim and other survivors of sexual assault.

A rich picture is painted of this ongoing struggle through a case study of the Australian Greens with vivid descriptions presented on organisational leadership issues by Australian state and federal Green members of parliaments. What emerges from the data is the Australian Green MPs’ conundrum in retaining an egalitarian and participatory democracy ethos while seeking to expand their existing frame of leadership to being both more pragmatic and oriented towards active involvement in government.

The Rise of the Australian Greens
Parliament of Australia Department of Parliamentary Services Parliamentary Library Information, analysis and advice for the Parliament RESEARCH PAPER www.aph.gov.au/library 22 September 2008, no. 8, 2008–09, ISSN 1834-9854 The rise of the Australian Greens Scott Bennett Politics and Public Administration Section Executive summary The first Australian candidates to contest an election on a clearly-espoused environmental policy were members of the United Tasmania Group in the 1972 Tasmanian election. Concerns for the environment saw the emergence in the 1980s of a number of environmental groups, some contested elections, with successes in Western Australia and Tasmania. An important development was the emergence in the next decade of the Australian Greens as a unified political force, with Franklin Dam activist and Tasmanian MP, Bob Brown, as its nationally-recognised leader. The 2004 and 2007 Commonwealth elections have resulted in five Australian Green Senators in the 42nd Parliament, the best return to date. This paper discusses the electoral support that Australian Greens candidates have developed, including: • the emergence of environmental politics is placed in its historical context • the rise of voter support for environmental candidates • an analysis of Australian Greens voters—who they are, where they live and the motivations they have for casting their votes for this party • an analysis of the difficulties such a party has in winning lower house seats in Australia, which is especially related to the use of Preferential Voting for most elections • the strategic problems that the Australian Greens—and any ‘third force’—have in the Australian political setting • the decline of the Australian Democrats that has aided the Australian Greens upsurge and • the question whether the Australian Greens will ever be more than an important ‘third force’ in Australian politics.
