Fed: Evans ready to negotiate with minor parties
The Rudd government's prepared to do deals with the Greens and independents to ensure
its budget measures pass through parliament.
The government's Senate leader CHRIS EVANS has told ABC Radio he'll turn to the minor
parties for support if the opposition attempts to block budget measures in the Senate.
Without coalition backing for its laws .. the government will need to turn to seven
balance of power senators .. the Australian Greens .. independent NICK XENOPHON and Family
First's STEVE FIELDING .. to get its legislative program through the Senate.
