The Australian Greens played a pivotal role after the 2010 federal
election. It ensured the Gillard minority government went full term and
won its first House of Representatives seat.
But what do we really know about the Greens in Australia? Is the party
really just an extension of the environment movement or a professional
party, capable of influencing the major parties? This book examines the
people who make the party tick. Uncovers the members and activists of
the party.
The Australian Greens: From Activism to Australia's Third Party asks
whether the Greens has made the transition from a home for tree-huggers
and alternative lifestylers to a party ready to work in Government.
