Christine Milne has resigned as the leader of the Greens. I wonder who her replacement will be?

I was thinking about this a few days ago, wondering if Scott Ludlam will go for the top job if it becomes available.
I'd like to see Peter Whish-Wilson as deputy, if not as leader.

Question is; Why did she resign?

Because she has decided to not stand at the next election for another 6 year term.

Senator Di Natalie is another good choice. Considering the Greens have so few members it's surprising that they have such good leadership choices.

I like Scott Ludlum.

I think it's got something to do with her becoming a grandmother, and wanting to spend time with her family. I had no idea she's been in politics for 25 years
her resignation has come as a bit of a surprise to me though
Looks like it will be between Adam Bandt, Scott Ludlum and Richard di Natale. I'd be happy with any of them. We should find out soon.
