Should the Greens work with Labor or try to replace it? | Insiders On Background
New Greens leader David Shoebridge has declared he wants to replace Labor.
It's a new direction for the party, as Senator Shoebridge tries to tap into the success of progressive movements overseas.
But his former leader, Adam Bandt, now chief executive of the Australian Conservation Foundation, says working with the government is key to delivering reform.
He sat down with David Speers for this week's Insiders: On Background ahead of his trip to Fiji for the pre-COP31 meeting.
