THE Greens leader Senator Bob Brown has not been able to arrange a meeting with Kevin Rudd since April last year, despite repeated attempts.

Mr Brown told Sky News Saturday Agenda that he wanted to talk to the Prime Minister about issues including the response to climate change, but no meeting had taken place - even when the government's emissions trading legislation was blocked in the Senate.

Theoretically, climate change legislation would have passed with the support of the Greens and two Liberal senators who crossed the floor to support the government's bill.

"I have tried to see the Prime Minister since April last year when I last saw him and have not been successful", Dr Brown said.

"There are very important issues I think we should be discussing."

"He's a busy guy, prime minister's are. My experience with all government's is they seem to think the House of Representatives is where it stops, they don't understand, they find complex and very frustrating the role of the Senate."

Rudd ha been the worst negotiator and compromiser of any PM in living memory. he just WONT!

You are right!! I cant explain just how bad Rudd is at 'playing with others'. Politics is the art of compromise and he seems to not have the first idea of what that actually means. The way he has attacked the miners is a classic example of that.
