Australian Greens senator David Shoebridge is expected to announce a leadership ticket alongside first-term senator Steph Hodgins-May, according to reports on the party's internal dynamics.
Hodgins-May, 41, was elected to the Senate in May 2024 after long-serving senator Janet Rice announced she would not continue in parliament, opening the path for the newer senator to rise within the party.
Separately, Australia's Home Affairs department has ordered a "rapid" stocktake of cyber security arrangements, reflecting heightened attention to digital security concerns within government.
Party figures have also used the moment to reiterate messaging opposing the fossil fuel industry's involvement in early childhood and school settings, arguing that children should receive evidence-based education free from industry influence.
The developments come amid a broader day of political activity in Australia, with the leadership question and the cyber security review both drawing attention as ongoing stories.
