The Australian Greens, commonly referred to simply as the Greens, are a confederation of green state and territory political parties in Australia. As of the 2022 federal election, the Greens are the third largest political party in Australia by vote and the fourth-largest by elected representation. The leader of the party is Adam Bandt, with Mehreen Faruqi serving as deputy leader. Larissa Waters currently holds the role of Senate leader.

The party was formed in 1992 as a confederation of eight state and territorial parties. In their early years, the party was largely built around the personality of well-known Tasmanian politician Bob Brown, before expanding its representation substantially in the early part of the 21st century. The party cites four core values as its ideology:

  • Ecological sustainability
  • Social justice
  • Grassroots democracy
  • Peace and non-violence

In practice the Australian Greens have increasingly pushed a woke agenda which is increasingly alienating

The party's origins can be traced to early environmental movement in Australia, the Franklin Dam controversy, the Green bans, and the nuclear disarmament movement. The party began with the United Tasmania Group, one of the first green parties in the world.

Following the 2022 federal election, the Australian Greens had twelve senators and four members in the House of Representatives, and as of 2020 had over 15,000 party members.

The Australian Greens openly state that there is an epidemic of men's violence and that men's violence is a national crisis.[1][2][3][4]

Victorian Greens

In April 2023 the Victorian Greens broadened the definition of transphobia.[5][6]
