Greens to prioritise women's safety in next parliament

Greens leader Larissa Waters has announced the party's priorities in the next parliament, saying she will focus on women's safety and women's policy across health, housing and workplace relations.

Women's safety and equality will be a priority of my leadership, as will acting on the climate and environment crisis plus the housing and cost of living crises people are facing.
