#BREAKING 🚨 Larissa Waters will resign as Greens leader due to ill health, saying she is managing a "pre-existing kidney disease that has declined significantly", although "prognosis for recovery is positive" Waters says she will remain as a Senator for Queensland
Jeremy's Ear25(a) awful to hear and hope the break helps her get better (b) hope the Greens put a real fighter in charge next, it couldn't be more urgent
Dr Alan Nixon16Sorry to hear the news. Who's up next is an important question at this point though. We need Greens to cut through to the maximum. Leadership is key in #auspol.
Robynne11Best wishes Larissa , I hope you get the treatment that makes an improvement for your health. Thank you for being true to your beliefs and standards , you will be sadly missed.
arriviste houso5sorry to hear, I think she was starting to get some air time and cut thru. glad she's not lost to parliament or the Greens.
Margaret Rose3I hope Larissa can improve her health. She’s only 49.
misschief9.bsky.social2She's always so positive 💚
Larissa Waters just announced she’s stepping down as leader of the Australian Greens due to ill health
Dark Matter Zine6it’s a pleasant change to see a woman stepping down voluntarily (relatively) instead of facing a leadership challenge or death threats. Sad that she has health struggles.
GeoffHiggins 🍉3That's rough. For her obviously, but also for Australia given the way things are going. #FascismSucks
