The ACT Greens have announced they will not form a coalition with Labor following the recent territory election. Instead, they will sit on the crossbench in the ACT Legislative Assembly, allowing them to advocate for their policies more effectively. Negotiations between the Greens and Labor did not yield sufficient commitments on key issues like housing, transport, and environmental policy. The Greens had proposed building 10,000 public homes, while Labor's plan included only 5,000 additional homes. The ACT Legislative Assembly will convene today for the first time since the election. Labor will lead a minority government, as they lack a majority in the 25-seat assembly.
