| | History of the Australian Greens |
 | | Although the Sydney Greens became the first nationally registered Greens party, in 1983, and state Greens parties had also formed in Queensland in 1985 and South Australian in 1989, the Tasmanian Greens were the old hands of the Greens movement in Australia, with the advantage of five seats in their state parliament. |
 | | In 1992 the New South Wales, Queensland and Tasmanian Greens representatives agreed to join the three state Greens parties to form a national greens party. |
 | | On Sunday 30 August 1992 in Lavender Bay, North Sydney, Greens from Queensland, New South Wales and Tasmania, with observers from Victoria, the ACT and Western Australia, held a press conference to announce the formation of the Australian Greens. |
