"Ai Group congratulates Adam Bandt on his election as Leader of the Australian Greens," Ai Group Chief Executive, Innes Willox, said today.

"The Australian Greens play an important role in the Parliament and in the wider public debate on many issues of keen interest to Ai Group members and we have maintained a positive dialogue with the Greens on many issues.

"We look forward to engaging with Mr Bandt and his team in the years ahead to find common ground and understanding of each other's positions where possible.

"Manufacturing and energy will be key early priorities for further consultation with the new Greens leader who has called for a manufacturing renaissance and for Australia to become a renewable energy superpower," Mr Willox said
