The Australian Greens are set to elect new leadership amid calls from grassroots members to prevent the Labor government from approving new coal and gas projects. Former leader Adam Bandt emphasized that the new leader must act decisively against fossil fuel developments, particularly with key projects like Woodside’s Browse gas project on the horizon.
Larissa Waters announced her resignation due to health issues, leaving the party to navigate significant climate challenges. Bob Brown highlighted the need for the new leader to engage effectively with both Labor and One Nation, as the Greens seek to expand their influence in a competitive political landscape.
