Greens votes on flood levy cost Labor $364m
JULIA Gillard's reliance on the Australian Greens to maintain her minority government has forced her to dump $364 million in proposed spending cuts designed to free up money to repair Queensland flood damage.
As she struggled to muster enough votes to win approval for her $1.8 billion flood levy, the Prime Minister yesterday scrapped $100m in proposed cuts to her solar flagships program and $264m to the national rental affordability scheme, to win Greens support. But as the Greens declared victory, the opposition said the concessions showed the Greens were the nation's de facto government and demanded Labor outline further cuts.
