Climate 200-backed Teal MPs Zali Steggall and Allegra Spender have launched a new “centrist” political party, which they say will “challenge the two-party system and give more communities a real say in Australia’s future.”

According to a joint statement from the two Sydney-based federal MPs, the new party will be called Community Strong Australia (CSA) and will focus on integrity, climate action, and economic prosperity.
