The Greens say they'll put climate change at the top of their priority list at the negotiating table.
In their annual State of the Planet speech, the party's given its predictions for the political landscape after Election Day on October 14.
It says major parties will need a coalition partner, but in order for the Greens to agree, they want a commitment to climate action.
Co-Leader James Shaw told Mike Hosking that they're better off in government than sitting on the cross-bench.
He says they won't get any more wins by walking away and giving up the fight, and says that when you're a minister, you can actually put policy into place.
