Drew Hutton using right-wing talking points. What a surprise.

The deadlock broke open in March 2025 when Hutton spoke to the Saturday Paper and later to the Guardian in July. In the interim, Hutton began increasingly sharing articles and opinions on Facebook that criticised what he called “trans extremists”.

The Saturday Paper? Did you miss the memo about BDS Drew?

Hutton said he believed his expulsion signaled “a crisis point” for the Greens, who have seen their political gains erode in Queensland in recent state and federal elections.

“People are starting to see the Greens as weird and unlikable,’ Hutton said.

Talk about burning bridges! Adios Drew!
