In a Facebook post on Monday,Ms Springle said she relinquished her party membership three weeks ago in response to frustration over the Greens’ direction.
“Reforms that have been talked about tinker around the edges and go nowhere near the root causes of these problems,” she wrote.

“I’d be the first to put my hand up to do what needs to be done to right this course,but there isn’t even acknowledgement that the problems exist to the extent they do,so there is no hope of solving them.”
"Nothing I have seen or heard has indicated to me that the leadership has a willingness to acknowledge the deep-seated cultural issues that must be addressed if the party is to thrive and grow."
She did not name any individuals or provide specifics about the criticisms she raised in her post.
Ms Springle claimed that the party had moved away from"authentic consensus decision making"which has resulted,she said,in a manipulation of power by the party's leaders,the erosion of equality and a failure to give any recognition to the"voices of anyone outside certain circles".
