New South Wales Greens
The New South Wales Greens, officially known as The Greens NSW, is a green political party in New South Wales and a member of the Australian Greens. First formed in 1991, the NSW Greens began as a state-level party before joining with other green parties in Australia to create the current confederated structure.
The NSW Greens continue to be separate to the other state and territory Greens parties in several regards. The Greens tend to be more left-wing in their political positions in comparison to the other state parties, and continues to maintain the original Greens policy of not having a single parliamentary leader, instead being based on principles of collective leadership.
The party currently sits on the crossbench in the New South Wales Parliament, and has representation federally in the Senate.
The first Greens party was registered in 1984, but the Greens NSW did not take its current form until 1991, when six local groups in New South Wales federated as a state political party. Greens candidates have run in every federal election since 1984, when a single candidate ran in the federal Division of Sydney.
The founding document of the Greens NSW described the organisation as the following:
The Greens in Sydney come from many backgrounds. Environmental and resident activists. Nuclear disarmers. Dissidents from the Labor Party who have witnessed betrayals by both wings of that party. Feminists. Anarchists. Those inspired by the German Greens. Socialists of various kinds. What is distinctive and unifying about this new force in Sydney is the emphasis on encouraging people’s self-confidence in their right to have their say, their right to democratically determine matters – whether they are large or small – which affect their lives.
The party endorses candidates to stand for election in many of the 128 local government areas across NSW, including in rural and regional areas where the major parties usually do not run candidates on party tickets. The Greens NSW currently have 58 councillors on 32 local councils around NSW.
In NSW, local government elections were held in September 2016 and September 2017.
