Greens leader Richard Di Natale says a "green tide" is coming and if it's a hung parliament on July 2, he's confident deals will be done.

The Greens national team assembled in Melbourne on Saturday, and Senator Di Natale says the phone will ring after the election if neither of the major parties secures majority power.

"If the prospect is not governing at all, or having a responsible power-sharing agreement as part of multi-party government, then that's where they'll land on," he told reporters.

"It is only a matter of time before multi-party government is the norm."

Senator Di Natale says the Greens will work to build on their senate team and with a very real possibility of picking up a potential senator in Queensland or NSW.
