http://au.news.yahoo.com/latest/a/-/latest/9663491/labor-mp-willing-to-preferenc...A Federal Labor MP says he will preference against the Greens in favour of the Liberals at the next election, if the Opposition does the same, to try and oust the only Greens MP from Parliament.
Michael Danby is the member for Melbourne Ports and says mainstream voters in his electorate do not like some of the Greens more extreme polices.
He says Greens MP Adam Bandt would not have won the seat of Melbourne from Labor if it were not for Liberal preferences.
"I support the Prime Minister in dealing with whatever the minority parties might support... but it doesn't mean that we're obliged to support them on all issues or to give them preferences," he said.
"I think its very important to call the Liberals to account in Melbourne, its their preferences that elected the Greens last time and if they do the right thing, Melbourne Ports will consider doing the right thing."
"I have some influence in Melbourne Ports and will be recommending on the basis of what happens in Melbourne, if the Liberals are going to preference against the Greens in Melbourne, we'll do the same in Melbourne Ports."
