The Australian Greens is a political party whose stated core values include ecological sustainability, social justice, grassroots democracy, and peace and non-violence. It was formed in 1992 as a confederation of eight state and territory parties.

In the news, federal Greens leader David Shoebridge denied that his office had made, used, or seen a reported 47-page document concerning allegations about Western Australian senator Jordon Steele-John. The Western Australian Greens confirmed the document existed and said it related to allegations first made in 2016, which the party said were not substantiated and had not resulted in a formal complaint. Steele-John has rejected more recent allegations and referred them for a fair, independent process. The matter has been referred to the Independent Parliamentary Standards Commission, and the Western Australian Greens said it would seek legal advice on establishing an independent inquiry.
