A leaked memo claimed the national council was “prepared to begin the process of expelling the Victorian Greens” over concerns the party has failed to address transphobia within its ranks.

The expulsion of Adam Bandt’s Victorian branch of the Greens from the national party is being discussed at the highest level over concerns the party has failed to address transphobia within its ranks,The party’s national council, made up of senior members and MPs, has demanded the Victorian arm prove it is taking seriously formal complaints and “perceptions by trans and gender-diverse members that the Victorian Greens pose a serious and ongoing threat to their safety and wellbeing”.

It is unclear if Jordan’s letter was written with the imprimatur of the council. A spokesperson for Bandt, when asked byabout the expulsion threat, said trans rights were non-negotiable and “there is no proposal to expel Victoria from the Australian Greens”. Greens national co-convenors Willisa Osburn and Matt Roberts said there was no “proposal before the Australian Greens to expel Victoria”.

Taylor rejects Labor-Greens ‘ideological exclusion’ of nuclear as Kean backs technologyShadow treasurer Angus Taylor has hit out at the Labor-Greens “coalition” for its “ideological exclusion” of nuclear after NSW Treasurer Matt Kean declared his government would be “open” to the energy alternative. Nuclear is the best alternative we have available. It's time to lift the ban! Investigate Watergate. 👍 Energy/mining companies bypassed Taylor when he was minister to work directly with the states. They are paying a lot more attention to Bowen who has ruffled their feathered nest.

Labor and Greens team up to pass energy billLabor and the Greens have joined to pass an energy price bill aimed at keeping consumer costs in check. The Coalition voted against the bill with a warning that the dramatic intervention in the energy market could make the situation worse. This is just one element of the energy system. Our country is being systematically destroyed by the Green/Left movement You repeat labor/green lies. The energy bill is about destroying gas in Australia & nothing 2 do with price reduction. Its going to decimate the gas industry. No one will invest in it, which has cleaner emissions than coal. Cheaper to heat water at home via gas than electricity.

Greens fighting for Labor to entirely subsidise electric transitionThe Albanese Government agreed with the Greens to create a 'significant package' for the electrification of households and businesses but leader Adam Bandt has revealed he wants the cost of transition to be fully subsidised by the Commonwealth. Adam Bandt arguably has the most influence on what Australia looks like in the coming years and there isn't anyone to hold him accountable, which is a frightening reality IMHO if GREENS AND ALBO unite in ANYTHING Aussies better PRAY. Albo has NO CLUE what Bandt's agenda is, NOR FROM WHERE/WHOM THE MONEY materialises. Yeah so when the switch off electricity … you can’t even cook. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ anyone supporting this has lost their plot.
