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

And it’s curious, because the conditions that have seen One Nation rise – frustration with the major parties, a slip in living standards, appetite for change – should suit the Greens and their anti-establishment politics.
