Biography/History: The Australian Greens (commonly known as The Greens) is an Australian Green political party which was formed in 1992 from a confederation of eight state and territory parties. In addition to environmentalism the party cites four core values: ecological sustainability, social justice, grassroots democracy and peace and non-violence. Party constituencies can be traced to the early environmental movement in Australia and the formation of the United Tasmania Group (UTG), one of the first green parties in the world, the nuclear disarmament movement in Western Australia, and sections of the industrial left in New South Wales. Former leaders of the party include Bob Brown and Christine Milne.
