Find Out About The Greens

This online event is open to everyone who wants to know more about the party which leads the conversation on so many topics from climate to asylum seekers to animal welfare and housing. 

The discussion will be led by NSW Greens Senator  Dr Mehreen Faruqi. Senator Faruqi will be joined by Greens members Takesa Frank, Damien Atkins, and Tamanna Shah to talk about why they support the party.  

Join us 6:30pm 22 September to learn more about how your involvement and support will make our movement stronger.
