Greens support Labor to strengthen key election measures

smh.com.au

The Greens have offered to support Labor in passing key measures before the upcoming election. They request immediate action on student debt reduction and tripling bulk billing incentives to strengthen Labor's position against the Coalition led by Peter Dutton. Labor plans to reduce student debt by 20% but has not yet passed the legislation, which is set to take effect after the election. The Greens want this measure introduced during the upcoming budget week. Additionally, the Greens are pushing for legislation to triple bulk billing incentives and include dental care in Medicare for all Australians. They argue that these actions would provide immediate relief to citizens facing a cost-of-living crisis.
