Larissa Waters steps down as Australian Greens leader citing ill health

Original: Larissa Waters steps down as Greens leader due to ill health https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2026/sep/28/lari

Larissa Waters has resigned as leader of the Australian Greens, citing health reasons. The announcement, reported by Guardian Australia, ends her stint leading the party and is expected to trigger a leadership contest. Waters, a long-serving senator for Queensland, has been one of the Greens' most prominent federal figures, and colleagues are likely to pay tribute while discussion turns to who will succeed her.

Why now: A surprise resignation by the leader of a major Australian minor party immediately raises questions about the Greens' direction and succession.
