Mehreen Faruqi

Greens senator David Shoebridge has been elected the party's new federal leader, declaring in his first remarks that the Greens are 'here to replace Labor'. The win has sparked internal friction: rival Mehreen Faruqi, who lost the ballot, has questioned its legitimacy, called it flawed and vowed to push for 'radical action', while other senators have called for a member-wide vote on the leadership. The contest comes as the party outlines a vision on issues from fossil fuels to One Nation.
