AshleyHOST
But two days later from the following, from the following Monday, just hit my mic there [laughs].
AshleyHOST
Um, two days later, the Greens had an unprecedented ballot for the leadership, and going for the position included Sarah Hanson-Young, been a Greens leader, a, a Greens, um, senator since 2008, former Greens deputy leader Mehreen Faruqi, and David Shoebridge, where 11 Green members voted in a party room in Sydney.
AshleyHOST
Senator Hanson-Young, she was eliminated in the first round of voting, and in the following round, Senator David Shoebridge ultimately came out on top with seven votes against Faruqi's four votes.
AshleyHOST
Faruqi said that she was disappointed with the ballot result, and rightly so.
ZoeHOST
I don't know.
ZoeHOST
I don't, I don't know a whole lot about, uh, David Shoebridge.
ZoeHOST
I know that, uh, yeah, Mehreen Faruqi and, uh, Sarah Hanson-Young.
AshleyHOST

Calista ClementsGUEST

Oh, actually, and Anika Wells.
Shane Da CostaHOST
Yesterday.
Calista ClementsGUEST

Michael DanbyGUEST
They've got, um, uh...
Michael DanbyGUEST
I think s- the, the new leader Shoebridge is pretty extreme.
WayneAUDIENCE
If you looked at movies and, um, you know, game shows and various things on, on, on the television and the computer lately, I mean-
Chris SmithHOST
Killing is everywhere, Wayne, which is why I couldn't understand why Sarah Hanson-Young and others made such a big deal about this two days ago.
Chris SmithHOST
They, they couldn't speak about any, any other issue r- other than this.
WayneAUDIENCE
I mean, he's gonna be shot either in the head or the torso, his chest or something with a very big gun, you know, by an expert marksman.
Leith ForrestHOST
All right, so a little bit of the karma bus coming their way.
Leith ForrestHOST
Hey, so Sarah Hanson-Young is South Australian.
Leith ForrestHOST
We're always interested-
Joe HildebrandGUEST
Yeah
Joe HildebrandGUEST
I mean, someone in the Labor Party I think gleefully noted that there's only 11 MPs, and they had, uh, three different leadership candidates [laughs] and now they've split six ways.
Leith ForrestHOST
Mm-hmm.
Joe HildebrandGUEST
Um, but, uh, Sarah Hanson-Young, who is considered, who is the most sensible, um, uh, Greens MP, and she lost the leadership by a country mile, it has to be said, to David Shoebridge and then Mehreen Faruqi, and she came third out of three who put their hand up.
Joe HildebrandGUEST
And, uh, that's because she's perceived as being, and I know a lot of-
Fran KellyHOST
It can make you look a bit timid and a little bit weak.
Fran KellyHOST

Sarah Hanson-YoungSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I want the minister and the government to send a very clear warning s- sign to those big platforms that th- these types or this type of activity will not accepted to be streamed here.
Fran KellyHOST
Barnaby Joyce, particularly Barnaby Joyce.

Tom CrowleyGUEST
My sense is that long term, they won't wanna get in the way of it.
Tom CrowleyGUEST
They'll wanna extract a few things.
Tom CrowleyGUEST
Sarah Hanson-Young has put forward the ability of users to take legal action on an individual basis and get compensation.
Tom CrowleyGUEST
That might be a small concession from the government, I think for, for what you rightly described, Fran, as a big priority of theirs.
Sean AylmerHOST
However, the Greens are demanding tougher measures before supporting the legislation, including penalties linked to technology companies' global revenue and allowing individuals to sue platforms for harm.
Sean AylmerHOST
Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young also wants restrictions on addictive features such as infinite scrolling.
Sean AylmerHOST
Of course, the government needs the Greens to support it in the upper house to pass the legislation.
Sean AylmerHOST
The government proposes a 12-month transition period, with users given greater control, control over algorithmic content recommendations.

Yasmeen El-WakilCORRESPONDENT
Responding to the changes, Green Senator Sarah Hanson-Young says key elements are missing.
Sarah Hanson-YoungSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Fundamentally, uh, it does not include, uh, the right for individuals and the community to seek compensation when they have been harmed online.
Sarah Hanson-YoungSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
That is a fundamental part of any duty of care package to give it teeth, to make sure it actually can work.
Patrick MarlboroughHOST
Um, anyway, thanks for listening.
Patrick MarlboroughHOST
Uh, Tim is away again next week because he's having a second wedding, um, to, I believe, uh, who do we have here? What's that? Uh, Sarah Hanson-Young.
Patrick MarlboroughHOST
He's doing the full cross-party polygamy thing, so that's interesting.
