Co-founder of the Australian Greens and founder of the Queensland branch of the party Drew Hutton is going to court in a bid to have his life membership reinstated.

Hutton had initially had his membership suspended for making comments about women’s rights amid the transgender movement, with one post reading: “I believe in full human rights for trans people at the same time as supporting the right of women to be safe from patriarchal oppression.”
