[Compiled report by Australian Network] As the final candidates for the House of Lords are about to be finalized, if they want to ensure the passage of the proposed bill, the Labor government still needs to win over "foreign aid" and faces conflicts with other parties or Tough negotiations for independent MPs.

SBS reported on the 21st that the New Labor government will win 26 of the 76 seats in the House of Lords, but the opposition Alliance Party will become the largest party in the House of Lords with 32 seats. This means that Labor still needs to deal with independent MPs. The expanded team of independent MPs this term includes 12 Green Party MPs, 2 Single National Party MPs, and one National Party MP. To reach the 39 votes needed to pass the legislation, Labor must form an alliance with the Greens and gain the support of at least one independent MP.

John Warhurst, honorary professor of at the Australian National University, said that although the New Labor government has a more direct approach to enacting legislation than the previous government, there are still obstacles.

It is understood that the last Senate seat in Victoria was won by Ralph Babet, a member of the United Australia Party. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese admitted he was not sure whether the United Australia Party would support Labor's proposed legislation. (Noy compiled)
