Granted there's probably few things that the Liberals would be interested in passing that the Greens would accept, but it's an interesting idea. Not having responsibility for Treasury could be quite liberating - they could pass some extremely generous social security programmes and screw up Labor's promise to get the budget back into surplus.

THE Greens and the independents have offered Tony Abbott the opportunity to help govern from opposition, saying they would pass any policies with which they agreed, including paid parental leave, whether Labor liked it or not.
As the political establishment comes to grips with the concept of minority government, the Greens leader Bob Brown said the Parliament belonged to everybody, not just the government.
