Double dissolution triggers coming shortly - Greens

The Greens have taken the position that to block supply is dangerous and not the fastest way to get rid of Abbott. Instead they say there are a number of double dissolution triggers coming up, which would be the fastest and most efficient way to force Abbott into an election:

Blocking supply would not necessarily lead to a new election, nor get rid of the Abbott Government. Blocking supply would lead to a constitutional crisis and the power to call a new election, for the House of Representatives only, will still remain with the Prime Minister. This is not the best or fastest way to get rid of the Abbott Government. 

The most reliable and most rapid way to force a fresh election on the Abbott Government is by a double dissolution election (s 57 of the Constitution). The first opportunity for the Senate to set up a double dissolution trigger will come in the next few sitting weeks when we reject, for the second time, the carbon price repeal bills. Similar opportunities will arise on the budget measures bills, such as GP co-payments or uni cuts, in the coming weeks as well. The Greens are ready to fight the Abbott Government at an election on carbon pricing or any of their cruel budget measures. 

What will the Greens do to stand up to Abbott? 

The Greens are ready to block every cruel measure in the Abbott Budget. 

The Greens are ready to fight an election on these matters and will set up multiple double dissolution triggers so we can get rid of the Abbott Government. more
