With the support of millions of you, the Greens are in shared balance of power in the upper house of the Federal Parliament.
With that power, we are pushing the Labor Government to go further and faster on delivering for people and the planet.
Achieving real outcomes for all of us
Here's 10 ways the Greens have delivered on our promise to build a better future for everyone:
