Zali Steggall on the ‘teal’ party gamble
Zali Steggall on why the teals are becoming a party – and whether they can hold the centre as Australian politics becomes more divided.
When the teal independents swept through Liberal heartland, their pitch was simple – they were not like the major parties.
They were community-backed, locally accountable, and free to vote how they wanted.
Now, two of the best-known teals – Zali Steggall and Allegra Spender – are forming a political party.
They say Community Strong Australia is a home for the politically homeless: people who want climate action, integrity, sensible economic management and a pro-business agenda.
