The parties agreed to a legislative program going forward that included the Greens' desire to make Austria carbon neutral by 2030, an overall increase in the air passenger tax and a €3 day ticket for public transport.

The program included additional restriction on migrants, an extension of the ban on Islamic headscarves in school and lower personal and corporate tax rates.
