Prime Minister Julia Gillard has denied her deal with the Greens means she is dumping the contentious citizens assembly on climate change.

Ms Gillard today signed a formal alliance with the Greens as Labor tries to get the numbers to form a minority government.

The agreement includes the formation of a new climate change committee made up of experts, politicians from major parties and independents.

Well, that’s a damn shame. Boganhagen is still on the agenda, apparently.
