Shane Rattenbury says the Greens have the experience and pragmatism to lead the next ACT government, in a significant messaging shift from a party seeking to shed the minor party label.
With two more seats in the Legislative Assembly, the Greens would be on a level footing with the Labor and the Liberals and would be in a vastly different negotiating position after the October 19 election. The party says it would mean "anything's possible".
The Greens will mark the formal start of the ACT election campaign period by pitching themselves as the major party of an alternative government.
