Greens' Shoebridge says members will 'have a say' in choosing next party leader

Australian Greens senator David Shoebridge has pledged that party members will 'have a say' in choosing the party's next leader, as the Greens navigate a leadership transition.
Shoebridge's comments were framed as a commitment to an inclusive process for determining who will next lead the party, though specific details of the selection process were not fully outlined.
Leadership process
The pledge suggests internal party mechanisms, rather than a decision made solely among parliamentary colleagues, will play a role in determining the next leader of the Greens.
No timeline for completing the leadership process was specified, nor were the names of potential candidates confirmed in connection with Shoebridge's remarks.
Leadership transitions within Australian political parties often involve a mix of party-room votes and broader membership input, depending on each party's specific internal rules.
The Greens have not issued a joint statement detailing the full process or timeline for selecting a new leader beyond Shoebridge's comments on member involvement.
