The ACT Greens have elected a leader - but don't call her that.
Meredith Hunter says she is the "parliamentary convenor" of the Greens, which won an unprecedented four seats in last weekend's ACT election, giving the party the balance of power.
Ms Hunter conceded she would have "a leadership role", but said the Greens would act as a team and that she should be called the convenor, not the leader.
"We're the Greens and we do politics differently," Ms Hunter said as she announced her new position.
"We're not the old parties, we don't do things the old way."
When told by journalists that she would be called the leader, Ms Hunter replied: "I can't control that, can I?"
Ms Hunter and her Green teammates will hold discussions with Labor and the Liberals tomorrow about forming government.
A decision is expected by the end of this week.
Labor holds seven seats and the Liberals six in the ACT's 17-member assembly.
