Hanson-Young says Greens "marching to a slow death" The Greens aren't all peace, love and big hugs, as a third of its staff walk out on leader Christine Milne and Adam Bandt considers a run: In her way out of the party-room meeting that returned Christine Milne as Greens leader on Monday morning, Senator Sarah Hanson-Young walked past a table of journalists at Aussies Cafe at Parliament House. To their bewilderment, Senator Hanson-Young matter-of-factly announced that her party had just returned a leader that would see the party ""marching to a slow death"." How long does it take Hanson-Young to count to one? Senator Hanson-Young, an outspoken and ambitious party room member, is often mentioned by her colleagues as one of the key destabilising forces. Four separate sources claim that she made a bid for the party's leadership team at Monday's party meeting, a charge she denies.
