What the hell happened to the Greens? Max Chandler-Mather explains

Amid the seismic political shift currently underway in this country there’s been one party missing from the conversation – the Greens.

Today, former Greens MP and Greens Institute CEO Max Chandler-Mather discusses whether the Greens can mount a comeback and tap into the progressive version of Pauline’s populist politics.
