## Resource

The ACT government is now in a precarious minority after collapsing talks with the Greens — a first since 2008 — leaving Labor on notice that any misstep could spark political chaos. The Greens walked away over Labor’s refusal to commit to clear timelines and accountability for delivering services, though they remain open to issue-by-issue cooperation and will still back this year’s budget. With recent turmoil including censure motions and a deputy chief minister’s resignation, the Opposition paints the government as deeply fractured, warning the next two years will be especially tough. Meanwhile, the Chief Minister laments the broken deal but hints future electoral shifts may push progressive parties toward closer collaboration.
