“The arrangement with the government stays the same,” Brown told
reporters, referring to the Greens’ deal to support the government.
Greens support has come at a political cost to Gillard’s government, which is
trailing the conservatives in opinion polls ahead of elections due next year.
She had promised her government would not introduce a carbon tax. But after
striking a deal with the Greens, legislation was passed by Parliament to
require Australia’s largest polluters to pay 23 Australian dollars ($24) for
every metric ton of carbon gas they produce starting July 1.
Political scientist Nick Economou of Monash University said the departure of
Brown could help Gillard.
“It may help Gillard a little bit in trying to distance herself from the
Greens,” he said.
“Brown’s a giant in Australian politics. He’s been an extraordinarily
successful political actor; he’s brought a movement that was at the fringes
of Australian politics right to the centre with profound effect,”
Economou added.
Ms Gillard issued a statement thanking Mr Brown.
“Throughout his time in elected office, Bob Brown has been a figure of
integrity with a deep love for this country and its environment,” she
said.
Mr Brown was first elected to the Tasmanian state Parliament on an
environmental platform in 1983.
