In a major political change, Queensland Senator Larissa Waters has become the new Australian Greens leader after winning unanimous support from her colleagues via what she characterises as a smooth leadership change.

With just the seats of Bradfield in New South Wales and Colwell in Victoria unresolved as postal vote counting ends, the leadership change was confirmed as the form of the 48th Parliament is almost finished.

With the Greens now holding the only balance of power in the Senate, this leadership change comes at a turning point and positions Waters as a major political player deciding the fate of government legislation.
