Prime Minister Julia Gillard is still not being drawn on the recent rift between Labor and the Australian Greens.
Greens leader Christine Milne praised Ms Gillard for not criticising the party, on whose support she relies on for minority government, during a speech to the NSW Labor’s annual conference in Sydney on Sunday.
But Ms Gillard would not be drawn on Senator Milne’s comments on Monday.
“I’m sure there’ll be plenty of commentary but the speech I gave yesterday was about Labor’s values and Labor’s vision for this nation’s future,” the prime minister told reporters in Fremantle.
“It’s a vision about more jobs … (and) about supporting families with more dollars in their pocket through tax cuts and family payment increases.”
