Green Left Weekly is a radical left-wing Australian newspaper. Initiated by the Democratic Socialist Party in 1990, currently it is formally independent of any political party, although its editorial line supports the Australian Socialist Alliance, and it is closely linked to the Democratic Socialist Perspective.
Its articles mainly focus, like other socialist journals, on the struggles of ordinary working people against what Green Left Weekly believes to be a plutocratic ruling class.
Subjects of particular importance to Green Left Weekly include environmental destruction, Aboriginal land rights, taxation, freeway building, global warming, and foreign policy, such as Australia's intervention in the Asia-Pacific region, the US-led invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq and other forms of US political intervention overseas (such as in Latin America). The newspaper strongly supports the Bolivarian Revolution in Venezuela led by Hugo Chávez, and has recently opened a bureau in Caracas to improve its coverage of events there.
In June 2005 it won an award from web-surveying company Hitwise. Hitwise ranked the website as the most popular Australian-based political site.[1]
