The Labor government has made a deal with the Green and Independentsthat will guarantee the passage of it's flood levy bill through parliament. The Greens have agreed to vote for the bill in return for a commitment by the government to re-install the solar power scheme that it had stopped funding. It could be argued that a government shouldn't have to do deals such as this in order to ensure their legislative agenda is successfully passed through parliament.
