The Greens NSW 's
frontbench consists of all Greens members of the
Parliament of New South Wales , Australia, serving as the party's spokespeople inside Parliament on various issues, each member being assigned shadow portfolios for their speaking duties. This allows the Greens to shadow government policies and actions from the party perspective. Unlike its
federal counterpart and the major state parties, the Greens New South Wales do not elect a parliamentary leader. A spokesperson for
Premier and
Cabinet is appointed to speak on matters of leadership.
