James Shaw Stands Alone

From Lately, 10:20 pm on 4 August 2022

Nominations for the position of Green Party co-leader closed earlier tonight, with current co-leader James Shaw the only candidate. That doesn't mean he gets to keep his job though.

He will now have to convince more than 75 percent of the party's membership that he is right for the job, who could again vote to reopen nominations.

Joining Karyn to explain what's going on and what it will mean for the party is political analyst Dr Bryce Edwards.
