The New South Wales Greens, officially known as The Greens NSW, is a green political party in New South Wales and a member of the Australian Greens. First formed in 1991, the NSW Greens began as a state-level party before joining with other green parties in Australia to create the current confederated structure.
The NSW Greens continue to be separate to the other state and territory Greens parties in several regards. The NSW Greens tend to be more left-wing in their political positions in comparison to the other state parties, and continues to maintain the original Greens policy of not having a single parliamentary leader, instead being based on principles of collective leadership.
The party currently sits on the crossbench in the New South Wales Parliament, and has representation federally in the Senate.
