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”.
