Teals launch Community Strong Australia: ‘Superpower for Australia is its community’
Teal independents Zali Steggall and Allegra Spender have unveiled a new political party — Community Strong Australia — pitching it as a centrist alternative targeting the “politically homeless” amid the rise of One Nation and growing instability in Australian politics.
“We are Community Strong Australia because the superpower for Australia is its community, its multiculturalism,” Steggall told reporters in Canberra.
The party will have no single leader and will focus on housing affordability, cost of living, climate action, childcare, education, healthcare and social cohesion.
“We have a structure that doesn’t have a top-down (approach) … there is not a situation like One Nation where the question may be is it Gina (Rinehart) or is it Pauline (Hanson) in charge,” said Steggall.
