By Debbie Gibson
Australian Greens Secretary
I would like to acknowledge the Dharawal people on whose country I live and work and pay respects to elders and ancestors of this country and recognise the important role we all play in telling truth, enacting treaty, and elevating First Nations voices.
This is my second year in the role of National Secretary and I find the role a rewarding one in terms of helping behind the scenes to facilitate the amazing work our elected representatives do for our movement.
The national organisation
At the National level the Greens continue to come together as a movement and make the most effective use of our resources. National Council and the Office Bearer team have been working collegiately through the essential business of running the party and ensuring that our team has the support that they need to campaign for our causes and elections. Combining the tasks of running the Incorporated Association with the needs of running a political party has been a key focus of the year.
Another focus of the year ahead will be National Council members undertaking Cultural Awareness Training in line with the recommendations of the Murrimatters Report delivered to the Party late last year.
As Secretary, I have been involved with the various National Committees and Working Groups who facilitate so many aspects of the party operation from AGs governance to international Greens affairs. We would like to thank all of those involved for their commitment.
The AG team
Running the Greens and organising all the campaigns, meetings and conferences could not happen without the hard-working team of staff and Office Bearers. Behind everything from our systems to the launch of key policies is a team which has earned our thanks. Much appreciated everyone and we look forward to working with you for what is looking like a significant year for the Greens.
