Lidia Thorpe will be the next Greens senator for Victoria, the party has announced.
Victorian Greens members pre-selected Ms Thorpe with what the party says was a historic 65 per cent voter turnout.
Ms Thorpe, a Gunai Kurnai woman, will replace former Greens Leader, Richard Di Natale, who announced his resignation from politics earlier this year.
Ms Thorpe was previously the first Aboriginal woman elected to the Parliament of Victoria, and served as the member for Northcote.
