The Australian Greens' newly elected leader, Senator David Shoebridge, has vowed to take on corporate power and bring a “red hot fight” to coal and gas approvals, following a turbulent week for the party.
Strategy to take on One Nation and Labor
In an interview with Guardian Australia's political editor, Tom McIlroy, Shoebridge outlined a sharp, aggressive strategy aimed at beating One Nation and replacing Labor. He also discussed pushing back on Aukus and his vision for the party's future.
Internal party room fractures
The new leader's polarising approach comes after a turbulent week marked by internal party room fractures. The question remains whether his combative style can rally progressive voters without deepening splits.
Shoebridge's leadership follows the resignation of Larissa Waters, who stepped down as Greens leader due to ill health.
