NSW: Brogden refuses to rule out by-election deal with Greens

The New South Wales Liberals have refused to rule out backing a Greens candidate in
the by-election for the state Labor seat of Marrickville.

The Sydney-based seat is being vacated by Deputy Premier ANDREW REFSHAUGE, who has
announced his resignation from parliament.

And Opposition Leader JOHN BROGDEN also says he's not yet sure if the Liberals will
stand candidates in the Sydney seats of Maroubra or Macquarie Fields.

They are also up for grabs after the resignations of premier BOB CARR and planning
minister CRAIG KNOWLES.

Mr BROGDEN says the Greens have a chance of achieving a by-election upset victory following
recent strong election showings in inner Sydney.
