Do you feel like the greens will give you what you want?
More than any other major party, which I guess is good enough for me. Not every Greens voter is the same, so it would be quite silly to expect the party to perfectly represent the views of every supporter. If I really wanted them to better represent my personal views/beliefs then I would become a member and try to create that change from the inside but I don't care that much.
Unlike the other person who replied to you I don't pay much attention to candidates from these major parties since they all vote along party lines anyway. That kind of vote monitoring is more relevant for independents - at the party level it's pretty obvious how they're going to vote.
Not everywhere. Some of their candidates resonate with me and have science and economic theory to back up what they say. Where I live now the candidate was a crystal healer and a bit wishy washy for me which put me off voting greens in my area. I voted Labor in the last election and my candidate has been pretty active in the community.
https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/ Web site above is good for checking how your MP has been voting.
Yeah I have found the vote results to be interesting to browse at times too, good suggestion.
