  • Barnaby to defect and enviro laws to pass
    A Labor-Greens deal on the EPBC has been announced, after lengthy negotiations.

And is this a sign of a more pragmatic approach from the Greens under leader Larissa Waters?And New England MP Barnaby Joyce is expected to announce he's defecting. So, was it Pauline Hanson's sandwich press steak that won him over?
