Greens in Crisis as Co-Leaders Resign, New PM Appointed from Outside Parliament

^{BY JAMES JAMESONSON}

PRIME MINISTER u/model-slater has announced their shock resignation, followed shortly by the resignation of Greens co-leader u/model-kyosanto, signaling a major crisis for the Greens political party and the government as a whole.

In an unprecedented move labelled by opponents as "shocking" and "egregious", the Greens-Country-Sensible Team government has appointed u/model-putrid - who is not a member of the parliament - as prime minister.

However, u/model-slater's retirement did not come before they issued the Currency (Australian Coins) Determination 2021, which makes several changes to Australian coinage, including the insertion of portraits of AFL player Bailey Smith and American performer Nicki Minaj on Australian coins.

Speaking to National Review, opposition leader u/dyljam said the actions of the Greens-Country-Sensible Team government were "disgusting", "embarrassing" and "a joke".

"I cannot put this in any stronger terms. The currency determination and the appointment of a random person who is not elected to parliament as prime minister is nothing short of an egregious joke. It is irresponsible and immature in the extreme.

"The Greens, Country and Sensible Team political parties are nothing short of a really bad joke. They have not just brought this upon themselves, but they have brought our country in disrepute. They do not deserve to hold on to any seats in the upcoming election. This must be their dishonourable end."

The new prime minister, u/model-putrid, has already made their mark on the prime ministership with the Order of Australia (Appointments and Terminations) (No. 2) Instrument 2021. The instrument has awarded the Order of Australia to several individuals, including American pop star Britney Spears, and has revoked the appointment of Order of Australia to former Victorian premier Jeff Kennett.

These latest developments out of Canberra will have a significant impact in the upcoming election. Until now, the Greens-Country-Sensible Team government was seen as likely to be re-elected, however it now seems that this will be a near-impossible feat.

It must feel like an early Christmas for Australian Labor Party leader u/dyljam and Commonwealth Party leader u/buttsforpm, both of whom as late as yesterday were thought to be unlikely to gain the prime ministership.

The election will be held in early December. NR
