Alex Greenwich
Alexander Hart Greenwich (born 28 November 1980) is an Australian politician. He is a member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly, representing the seat of Sydney since the 2012 Sydney by-election. He ran as an independent and was backed by his predecessor, independent Clover Moore.
He was also the co-chair of Australian Marriage Equality and one of the key leaders of the successful "Yes" campaign for the Australian Marriage Law Postal Survey in 2017 and abortion legalisation within New South Wales in 2019. He is a proponent of LGBTQ rights by helping to pass laws that respond to issues within the LGBTQ community. He helped legalise voluntary assisted dying in 2022.
Greenwich was born in New Zealand to a Georgian father and American mother. His father, Victor Greenwich Dadianov (formerly the Honorary Consul-General of Georgia in Sydney, 2004–2013), was born Prince Victor Dadianov of the princely Georgian Dadiani family but his mother changed the name to Greenwich after they moved as refugees to New Zealand from Russia after the Second World War. At the age of seven, Greenwich moved with his family to Sydney. From his family residence in Circular Quay, Greenwich was educated at Sydney Grammar School and completed a Bachelor of Arts in Human Resource Management and Russian Studies at the University of New South Wales. From 1 December 1998 to 1 December 2012, Greenwich was the Managing Director of his own recruiting agency, Winning Attitudes Recruitment.
He is a direct descendant of the House of Dadiani, one of the oldest royal houses in Eastern Europe.
Greenwich is an openly gay male MP in the NSW Legislative Assembly. Before entering politics, Greenwich was a prominent LGBT rights activist and led Australian Marriage Equality (AME).
Prior to running for office, Greenwich was the national convener of AME from 2009, and in 2010 was named as one of Samesame.com.au's 25 most influential gay and lesbian Australians. As national convener, Greenwich organised over 44,000 submissions to be made to the 2011 Australian Senate inquiry into same-sex marriage, and continues to be a prominent activist for achieving same-sex marriage reform in Australia. In May 2012, Greenwich married his German Australian long-term partner, Victor Hoeld, in Argentina, where same-sex marriage was already legal.
As of 2017 Greenwich has triple Australian, New Zealand and United States citizenship. Shortly before this was publicised, Greenwich had renounced his New Zealand citizenship.
In 2023, Greenwich was one of those honoured as part of the 'Pride 2023' campaign. During this Sydney's Queen Victoria Building (QVB) underwent a transformation, including a temporary renaming, celebrating Sydney WorldPride. The QVB paid tribute to five members of the LGBTQIA+ community by capturing them as ‘Real Queens’ in a series of royal–style portraits. For WorldPride, Greenwich swapped his signature casual suit and shirt for a tuxedo with green tulle in a display that was hosted in the QVB.
