Di Natale rules out Greens-Labor coalition

Greens leader Richard Di Natale thinks a coalition with Labor would be dangerous because the smaller party could lose its identity.

"Look at the National Party at the moment ... all you hear them doing is defending the government's agenda," he told 3AW radio on Tuesday.

But Senator Di Natale did not rule out working with Labor on issues like health or climate, saying: "I think you've always got to keep that door open."
