Mr Seselja said this morning that he would not rule out a re-think of his election pledge to repeal the Labor-Greens ban on plastic shopping bags.

Labor leader Katy Gallagher has maintained the party who can put together a working Assembly majority is the one with the right to govern.

ACT Greens have not spoken publicly today, with senior MLAs locked in a party room meeting.

With counting in the election likely to continue until Saturday, Mr Seselja said this morning he would also consider a light rail system to appease the two Greens, who look likely to keep their Assembly seats after the party suffered a big swing against it on Saturday.

With the make-up of the Assembly likely to be Labor seven, Liberals eight and Greens two, both major parties are trying to woo the Greens, who have retained balance-of-power status despite the expected loss of MLAs Amanda Bresnan and Caroline le Coutuer.

Labor, despite retaining all its seats and growing its vote slightly, look set for a high profile casualty with senior frontbencher Simon Corbell still trailing fellow ALP candidate Meegan Fitzharris in the Molonglo election.

Another sitting member, the Liberals’ Steve Dozspot is locked in a tight race fellow Liberals newcomer Elizabeth Lee for the third Liberals’ seat in Mologlo.

Mr Seselja, who contacted Greens Leader Meredith Hunter this morning for the first time since the election, said this morning that he might be willing to work with the Greens on one of their key policy wishes, light rail.

"We've never ruled out light rail,” Mr Seselja said.

“I'm very happy for the work to be done to figure out whether it can work and is achievable.

“I would be very pleased to have some discussions around that.”

He also has not ruled out backing down on the Liberals' pledge to overturn a ban on single-use plastic shopping bans.

"I don't think the formation of a government should hinge on shopping bags one way or another," he said.

Mr Seselja said he was confident that talks between his party and the Greens could be “civilised.”

"We can certainly have discussions and I think we can work in a civilised way with each other," he said.

Ms Gallagher said this morning that the party with the right to govern was the one that could control the numbers on the floor of the Assembly.

"Last time I looked, democracy meant that whoever had the majority on the floor on parliament actually was the party that governed,” she said.

"No-one has a majority situation here.

“Whoever forms government needs to work with the Greens and it's not unusual for the ACT Assembly to be in that position."

Ms Gallagher dismissed comments by federal opposition leader Tony Abbott yesterday that the Canberra liberals had a “moral” right to govern the territory after their gains on Saturday.

"I don't know that I'll be taking any moral instructions from Tony Abbott," she said.
