Queensland Greens Senator Larissa Waters has become the second woman in the party’s history to lead the Greens. She was elected unopposed on 15 May during a meeting of the party’s 11 senators and one MP in Melbourne. NSW Senator Mehreen Faruqi has been elected as the deputy leader, while South Australian Senator Sarah Hanson-Young — the longest-serving Greens member in federal parliament — will continue in her role as manager of business in the upper house.
