    Alright someone start doing the numbers.

    1)Has the Finance bill been passed yet?
    2)How many do they need to break ranks to collapse this thing?

    Mary White has announced the Med Card issue "needs to be addressed", but also includes the proviso that it's not a pulling out of Govt issue.

    If 2 Greens go it doesn't matter. I would imagine the Greens would have to pull the plug or be destroyed internally.

    But if its challenged and you have 2 Greens, 1 FF and maybe someof the independants.......

    I cant remember the Government lead at the moment. How many need to put their vote where their mouth is?
