FED:Independents start power talks
CANBERRA, Aug 25 AAP - The three independent MPs and Green MP Adam Bandt have begun
talks with the coalition and Labor over the future government.
They have handed a seven-point strategy to Prime Minister Julia Gillard and Opposition
Leader Tony Abbott, which the independents say is a starting point for discussions.
The MPs want access to the latest Treasury budget figures as well as a commitment from
both major parties that the government formed would commit to a full three-year term.
Mr Bandt, Bob Katter, Tony Windsor and Rob Oakeshott have said they will release the
seven-point plan after the meetings at Parliament House in Canberra.
