On the first anniversary of Richard Di Natale's leadership of the Australian Greens, he's confirmed a willingness to deal with Labor to form government.

In an interview with Fairfax published on Friday Senator Di Natale confirmed his support for Greens' seats at the cabinet table of an ALP government, adding his party will preference Labor ahead of the Liberals.

"The election hasn't even been announced but the Greens' leader is already talking about having Green ministers in a Shorten government," Liberal senator Eric Abetz said of the deal which he claimed would bring a "radical left-wing agenda".
