The Greens have elected David Shoebridge as their new leader following the resignation of Larissa Waters. Waters stepped down on Monday citing health issues, prompting an internal leadership contest. Shoebridge, a newcomer to the party, has been chosen to lead after a vote involving several candidates. Almost half of the party’s leadership team is running in the contest, with Shoebridge facing Mehreen Faruqi and Sarah Hanson-Young. The vote marks a significant shift in the party’s direction. Shoebridge’s election signals a new era for the Greens, as he takes on the role of guiding the party forward. The leadership change comes amid ongoing political dynamics within the party. The outcome of the vote is expected to shape the Greens’ strategy in the coming months.
