Greens leader Senator Larissa Waters outlined her party's hardline approach to Senate negotiations in a Sky News Australia interview Thursday, warning Labor the party will not automatically support government legislation despite holding the balance of power.

Waters told Sky News political editor Tom Connell the Greens will be "constructive but firm" in wielding their decisive Senate position, emphasizing voter expectations over political convenience.

Key Policy Positions:

  • Superannuation tax threshold may need reduction from Labor's $3 million proposal

  • Party requires "fresh discussions" before committing to support government measures

  • Environmental protection and housing affordability remain core priorities
