00:00Through autumnal shades of red and yellow emerges the new leader of the Greens.
00:09I am just so thrilled to have had the support of my colleagues.
00:14Larissa Waters, a Queensland Senator, environmental lawyer and proud feminist,
00:19replaces Adam Bandt who lost his seat.
00:22The new leader notably putting climate change and nature on top of her list of priorities.
00:28People elected us to get shit done and that's what we intend to do in the service of people and the planet.

00:40It is really exciting that for the first time we have two women at the helm of the Greens' ship.
00:47Larissa Waters is the Greens' consensus candidate, selected by her colleagues unopposed.
00:52She's flagging a more constructive approach in the next parliament and placing a greater emphasis on the environment.

01:06Susan Lee today met with Nationals leader David Littleproud to start thrashing out their coalition agreement.
01:12We will take the time to get it right with policies.
01:16Having held their ground at the election, the Nationals are demanding a greater say.
01:21Labor's resounding success hasn't come without its own complications.
01:25We have gone through obviously what is difficult processes.
01:31Richard Miles, a senior right faction figure, quizzed on his role in the axing of Mark Dreyfus and Ed Husic from the front bench and this characterisation.
01:41They expect to see a statesman, not a factional assassin.
01:45Mr Miles rejecting that.
01:47These are collective processes but also very much acknowledge the contribution that Ed Husic has made and for that matter that Mark Dreyfus has made.
01:56The acting Prime Minister in the car to prove it, hoping to leave the ugliness behind.
