===State and territory parties=== {{Main|List of member parties of the Australian Greens}} The Australian Greens are a federation consisting of eight parties from each state and territory. The various [[States and territories of Australia|Australian states and territories]] have different [[Electoral systems of the Australian states and territories|electoral systems]], all of which allow the Greens to gain representation. As of 2024, the Greens hold at least one seat in all eight [[Electoral systems of the Australian states and territories|state and territory legislatures]]. Five Greens have become ministers at the state/territory level: Nick McKim and [[Cassy O'Connor]] in Tasmania, 2010β2014; and in the [[Australian Capital Territory|ACT]], [[Shane Rattenbury]] since [[2012 Australian Capital Territory election|2012]] and [[Emma Davidson]] and [[Rebecca Vassarotti]] since [[2020 Australian Capital Territory election|2020]]. Most of the state-based Green parties which have joined the Australian Greens do not have a formal leader, and instead they have a shared leadership structure.<ref name="Cunningham-2014">{{cite journal |last1=Cunningham |first1=Christine |last2=Jackson |first2=Stewart |title=Leadership and the Australian Greens |journal=Leadership |date=13 March 2014 |volume=10 |issue=4 |pages=496β511 |doi=10.1177/1742715013498407|s2cid=144393361 |url=https://ro.ecu.edu.au/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1025&context=ecuworkspost2013 }}</ref> However, Tasmania, Victoria, and the ACT have adopted singular leadership structures into their party.<ref name="Cunningham-2014" /> The current Australian Green member parties are the following: {| class="wikitable" !
