Former Greens leaders have urged the party to stand firm against Labor “arrogance” in the new parliament, particularly on climate and environmental issues, as internal jockeying to find a new leader begins after the unexpected defeat of Adam Bandt.
Bob Brown has urged the party to “never again” preference Labor over the Liberals and instead run an open ticket, as he and his fellow former leader Christine Milne said the Greens should push back strongly against “lies” about the party. Richard Di Natale, the leader before Bandt, claimed the Greens had been “unlucky” in Saturday’s election.
