澳大利亚绿党通过党团投票选举新南威尔士州参议员大卫·肖布里奇为新任党魁12。肖布里奇以七比四的投票结果击败同党竞争对手梅赫琳·法鲁基12，这是绿党联邦领导权首次通过党团竞争产生，此前采用共识制1。维多利亚州参议员斯蒂芬·霍奇金斯-梅与肖布里奇组成联合名单，当选副党魁12。
肖布里奇上任后立即宣示了激进立场，称绿党"是来替代"工党，指控后者"仓促向右转"为右翼政党一国党留下了真空2。他承诺采取更激进的政策立场，将绿党定位为左翼替代力量1。同时他表示愿意支持"真正的基层参与"，与党合作推进一人一票的领导人选举制度1。肖布里奇曾任新南威尔士州议会议员至2022年，同年当选联邦参议员1。
前任党魁拉里莎·沃特斯因肾脏疾病辞职，医疗假后将返回参议院2。目前绿党在参议院拥有10名议员，在下议院有1名议员，握有参议院关键权力2。
David Shoebridge, a New South Wales senator, has been elected leader of the Australian Greens following a party room ballot that marked the first time the party's federal leadership was determined through competitive voting rather than consensus 12. Shoebridge secured seven votes to defeat rival Mehreen Faruqi's four votes, while Stephen Hodgkins-May, a Victorian senator, was elected deputy leader alongside him 12.
The election came after former party leader Larissa Waters stepped down due to kidney disease and will return to the Senate after medical leave 2. Upon his election, Shoebridge declared that the Greens are "here to replace" the Labor Party, accusing the government of making a "hasty lurch to the right" that has created space for right-wing parties to gain ground 2. This represents a shift in strategy, with Shoebridge positioning the party as a genuine left-wing alternative.
Shoebridge has committed to supporting grassroots participation within the party, including his willingness to work toward implementing a one-member-one-vote system for future leadership elections 1. The Greens currently hold 10 Senate seats and one House of Representatives seat, giving them significant parliamentary influence 2. Former party leader Bob Brown has emphasized that the party needs "very strong negotiators" to deliver "very big change" rather than incremental reforms 1, reflecting concerns about the rising support for right-wing minor parties 1.
