Greens leader Larissa Waters says she has not read documentation outlining why the party's co-founder, Drew Hutton, was expelled because she has been busy preparing for parliament.

The decision to terminate Hutton's life membership of the Greens was upheld by delegates of the state branches on Sunday, over what the party considers his pursuit of debate harmful to trans people but that he has framed as an issue of free speech.
