突发：绿党领袖Richard Ni Natale辞职并退出政坛。
参议员Richard Di Natale已经辞去绿党领袖的职位，并将在几个月内离开议会来花更多的时间陪伴家人。
他是在周一告诉绿党同事这个令人意外的决定的。
由10人组成的绿党议会团队将在周二投票选出新领袖。
在2015年取代Christine Milne成为绿党领袖的Di Natale形容这是一个非常困难的决定，但是对媒体说“对于我本人，我的家人和绿党来说是个正确的时机。”
“这是一个很困难，很需要投入的工作，我有幸担任这个职位。”
“但是我的人生来到了一个新阶段，我有两个年幼的男孩，我希望能陪伴他们，”他说。
他的两个儿子分别是11岁和9岁。
“离开一个年轻的家庭半年对我来说非常困难。”
“当我小儿子说‘爸爸，我希望你不是一名政客，因为我们见不到你’时，它告诉你一些事情。”
他的辞职恰逢澳洲遭遇灾难级的林火和国民对于气候变化感到焦虑之际。
但是他说这是一个让绿党更换领导人的正确时机。
“我越来越觉得我们需要给其他人一个领导绿党进入下次大选的机会。”
“特别是目前，这是一个对于让政府为林火危机的过失承担责任的重要时刻。”
他说他不会支持任何人接替他的职位。
“这是党团的决定，他们有10个人，当你只有10个人时这不是一个困难的决定。”
预计绿党的气候变化发言人和唯一的下院议员将出于有利的地位。
名气很大的南澳参议员Sarah Hanson-Young此前也提名参加过党首的选举。

This morning I have taken one of the most difficult decisions of my life, to step down as Parliamentary Leader of the Australian Greens.
It’s not a decision I’ve come to lightly -- leading this movement in Canberra and in communities everywhere for almost five years has been an incredible honour -- but it’s a decision I feel I have to take.
If there’s one thing I’ve learnt over this journey, it’s that the job can’t be done without supporters like you. That’s why I want you to be one of the first to hear why I’ve decided to say farewell.
The truth is, there are some small reasons for my decision and one big one.
Representing a political party in federal parliament is a uniquely demanding job and, over the years, I’ve found it more and more difficult to hear my sons tell me, “Dad, I wish you weren’t a politician because you’re never home”.
My boys, who are 9 and 11 years old, have only ever known their dad as a busy, tired and sometimes grumpy politician. As my young boys quickly grow up to become young men, I want to spend more time by their side than a relentless political schedule allows.
For some of you, I know this news will come as a bit of a shock. But there is so much to be optimistic about. Here is what fills me with hope for the future of our movement, and our country:
Last year, the Greens achieved our second best federal election result ever and, if it’s repeated in 2022, we will elect three new senators and, potentially, hold balance of power.
In recent decades, the vote of the two major parties has steadily decreased while the Greens vote has continued to climb. We are undoubtedly the third major force in Australian politics, and we’re growing.
The Greens put the climate crisis on the agenda last election, and this is just the beginning. Every election is now a climate change election.
The Greens movement goes from strength to strength, with representatives at every level of government, a record number of volunteers last election, our biggest campaign ever being run right now (climate emergency) and a party room full of inspiring and committed MPs leading the charge in Canberra.
I became a Greens MP to fight for a future that sees governments care for people and look after the environment, and to hold the other parties to account. Ten years later, I’m proud to have led a party that demanded marriage equality and worked with the LGBTIQ+ community to win it, to have been the driving force behind much-needed royal commissions into the banking, finance and disability sectors, to have won cross-party support for a federal anti-corruption commission, to have negotiated billions for Medicare-funded dental care, and to have championed medicinal cannabis and an end to the war on drugs.
And there’s no better example of why we need the Greens in power, than our achievement in establishing a price on carbon in partnership with the Gillard government. This world-leading legislation shows what cooperative politics can achieve and is the brightest moment this country has had during a decade of climate wars and shameful denialism. Progress happens when people come together to demand it, and never before have so many voices pressured the government to take urgent climate action so I am confident we can do it again.
I don’t know what comes next for me. What I do know is that there will be more time at the farm to cuddle my boys and support my wife in her career – she has sacrificed so much to support mine. They’ve been absolute heroes these past ten years, but they’re not alone. It’s you that I want to say a special thanks to you -- all of you. As Greens MPs, we are proud to give voice to a thriving grassroots movement that is bigger than any one person. You give us the energy and passion to get up every day and take on Morrison, Murdoch and all the other powerful vested interests holding back progress. I will never forget seeing your smiling faces at local community events, protest marches and voting booths all over the country every single election. It’s seared into my memory and I cannot thank you enough.
Forever Green,
