Ethical Greens voters stand in support of sex workers and their rights.

Disgraceful @VictorianGreens. Why would any queer person vote for this mess?

[Tim Baxter 🏳️‍🌈 @BaxterTim]

Yesterday, Linda Gale announced that she had been elected Convenor of the Victorian Greens.
I’ve been a member of this party for twelve years. In that time, our internal elections have always upheld the values of fair and transparent democracy. Until now.

[DecriminaliseSexWork @Greens4SexWork]

*checks notes* yep, ousted former @VictorianGreens Convenor attacks Party Leader for condemning neo nazi rally. Is this a joke?

[lindagale @lindagale]

@SamanthaRatnam Stupid boys playing at being Nazis are offensive to everyone. They are transphobic, homophobic and misogynistic. That they played their games today tells us *nothing* about the views of anybody else there. It does their work for them when you say they are supported by ANYONE.

Linda Gale & Rohan Leppert breaking bread w extremist TERFs hellbent on villifying trans people (particularly women), & rescinding our rights

What'll it take for @Greens @AdamBandt @VictorianGreens @SamanthaRatnam to say enough is enough & do something?

“Cr Leppert and Ms Gale must explain why they attended and what was discussed at this event. Further, Ms Gale must also explain how she came to be seated next to conspiracy theorist and hate speech broadcaster Angie Jones.”

Greens City of Melbourne councillor @RohanLeppert has new friends https://t.co/PoFAb6WSwF

[DecriminaliseSexWork @Greens4SexWork]

“It is our view that the continued endorsement of Cr Leppert by the @VictorianGreens is untenable. We call on Cr Leppert to resign his office with the City of Melbourne.”

[Tim Baxter 🏳️‍🌈 @BaxterTim]

I'm disappointed to see members of the Greens talking about "twitter mobs overturning democracy".

That isn't what happened, and they know it.

Here's what's actually happening in terms of "twitter mobs" though (1/2)

[Sean Mulcahy @seanamulcahy]

I know Tim. Tim doesn’t stand up for LGBTIQA+ rights to boost his profile. He does it because it is right - and we should be tremendously grateful to him for that.
What are Nina’s achievements? A failed campaign to block trans birth certificate reforms for trans people. Wow.

[Sean Mulcahy @seanamulcahy]

Disgusting comments against Cr @BaxterTim for bravely calling our transphobia.
Tim has been a staunch supporter of LGBTIQA+ rights on Port Phillip Council and Council’s LGBTIQA+ advisory committee and upcoming action plan will be a lasting achievement.

[Trans Health Australia @transhealthaust]

So disappointed in the Victorian Greens for electing someone like Linda Gale. We raised these issues with the party in 2019. It's Groundhog day all over again.

Very concerning.

[DecriminaliseSexWork @Greens4SexWork]

@grayhamandeggs @Ollie_Bun @hutcho66 That chart is 6 years old. Millennials are 26-41

[DecriminaliseSexWork @Greens4SexWork]

@Sam_Hibbins Pathetic, Sam. Are you LGBTQI portfolio holder? Go look are @janet_rice’s account and learn how to stand up for trans people.

[DecriminaliseSexWork @Greens4SexWork]

@grayhamandeggs @Ollie_Bun @hutcho66 Ok, boomer. The average Australian is 37 years old. That’s a millennial.

[DecriminaliseSexWork @Greens4SexWork]

@Ollie_Bun @hutcho66 Janet is just calling out the obvious and taking out the trash because the party and particularly it’s white boomer power centre haven’t been willing to do what’s needed

[DecriminaliseSexWork @Greens4SexWork]

@Ollie_Bun @hutcho66 The Vic Greens constitution explicitly forbids elected reps from having any involvement or influence on internal elections and even in party governance matters their power is restricted.
