The leader of the Australian Greens launched a broadside at the remnants of the Liberal government on August 24, after a power grab from the conservative right in the Liberal National Party resulted in a parliament shutdown.

The Coalition has instigated yet another leadership spill that will likely see the current prime minister Malcolm Turnbull ejected as the country’s leader.

In a speech, Greens party leader Richard Di Natale voiced his frustration on Thursday afternoon, after the House of Representatives voted to adjourn until September 10 due to the governing party’s infighting.

“While the Liberal Party has been tearing themselves a part, we’ve got 100 per cent of New South Wales in drought right now,” he told the Upper House.

“We’ve got the Great Barrier Reef on the brink of collapse, we’ve got floods in India, we’ve got a 12-year-old girl who’s setting herself alight in Nauru. We’ve got kids who are in a catatonic state because they’ve given up hope, locked away in those offshore hell holes.”

Di Natale continued listing current domestic problems; including homelessness; domestic violence; and the rising cost of living and the cost of education.

“What’s the Liberal Party doing?” he said. "Focusing on vengeance, on payback, focusing on themselves… And what have we got? We’ve got this spectacle, this disgrace. You should be ashamed of yourselves. We have people across the country who are suffering and look at what you’re doing.

“You are so focused on yourselves that you have forgotten what the country elected you to do and that is to govern for themselves, for them, not for you. Not for you. You don’t deserve to govern, you deserve to be turfed out. That’s what you deserve.”
