Australian rebel Greens faction to fight police, capitalism

Australian rebel Greens faction to fight police, capitalism, by Sam Buckingham-Jones.

A newly formed hard-left faction within the Greens has publicly stated it does not believe in the rule of law or the legitimacy of the Australian state and says it will work to “bring about the end of capitalism”.

Formed around federal NSW senator Lee Rhiannon and NSW upper house MP David Shoebridge, the “Left Renewal” faction has published a statement of principles that is at odds with its own party and contradicts the Greens’ national policies in several key areas. …

The group opposes market-based mechanisms, such as a carbon tax or an emissions trading scheme, as methods to address climate change.

Sound more like communists.
