Green Drinks: Leaders Debate
6.30pm on Friday 25 May at the Illawarra Brewery, City Beach, Wollongong.
The Greens NSW don’t have a leader. The Australian Greens have a leader elected by the party room. Should we have leaders? Or co-leaders? Or a rotating leadership model? If we do have leaders, should they be democratically elected? A bunch of Greens members have recently launched a petition to have leaders elected by the members.
We’re hosting a fiery, but good fun, debate to hear all perspectives.
It’s also a chance to have a drink and catch up with Green friends.
