Bundamba/ 2024 Queensland state election
Here is a mock up of a Traffic Light Voting Guide. The real time guides for each electorate will be available after the ballot draw which will happen either on Thursday October 10th or Friday October 11th. We will prepare the guides over the weekend ready for pre-polling on Monday October 14th. Once we upload them to the website, you will be able to download, print, and fill them in at home and then take them to the polling booth with you to easily transfer your choices onto the ballot paper. Alternatively, take your phone with you when you head off to vote, and you can then access our advice on the screen.
In the meantime, you can scroll down this page to check out the Green Light Candidate profiles in your electorate.
The team at Vote Climate One encourages all candidates to support the 3Rs and the Climate Rescue Accord to underpin any decisions in the Queensland Legislative Assembly relating to action on the climate emergency.

Green Light Candidates
Clive Brazier
Clive qualifies as an Outstanding Green Light Candidate.
The Legalise Cannabis Queensland Party endorses the vision of the Climate Rescue Accord, to stop and reverse global heating, and recognise the 3Rs as commensurate action to achieve that vision, and have adopted or are on the path to adopting a comprehensive suite of the 3Rs in their policies.
Hemp has some impressive environmental credentials. It grows faster than most weeds, negating the need for herbicides and it is fairly pest resistant. Two crops can be grown per season. It is an excellent crop for carbon sequestration and it can be used to make a strong and pest-resistant building material called hempcrete that continues to absorb carbon dioxide as it cures.
We need urgent measures to stop plastic pollution. Our lives and future depend on it. Bio-plastic materials offer significant advantages for the environment. As they are not made from fossil fuels, they do not produce carbon dioxide when decomposing. In addition, most of them are biodegradable. Everything indicates that they could be an especially important part of solving the climate crisis. Hemp is increasingly being recognised as having tremendous potential in our natural ‘toolbox’ of promising crops for bioplastics.
Policy Statements
- We care about the future of our planet. A greener bent will give our children and our grandchildren clean/er air and clean/er water. Each of us must try to do our part to innovate, change and respect the environment. Our lives and future depend on it!
- Plastic waste chokes the planet. Petrochemicals are found in a wide array of household items, from plastic wrap and rubbish bags to plastic bottles. Hemp based plastics decompose in months rather than decades
- Bio-futures is one of the opportunities that will support future economic development, open the door to new investment and grow employment in regional areas of Queensland
- Bio-products offer a renewable and environmentally beneficial alternative to existing conventional chemical and fossil fuel refining processes
- Transitioning to biofuel power stations would lower emissions and create a carbon neutral cycle and thus reduced greenhouse gasses.
- Reducing our own dependence on mining will protect our water tables from contamination. Fracking would be completely off the agenda
Tracey Nayler
I am passionate about social and environmental justice and have been highly engaged in grassroots community campaigning for ten years and an activist for forty, getting involved in my teens when nuclear waste dumps were proposed for our region.
Right now, it’s clear people are losing faith in a political system focused on putting the interests of a few big corporations and property investors ahead of the rest of us, our communities and our environmental wellbeing.
But it doesn’t have to be that way.
People-powered movements are the key to changing our circumstances. When we harness the collective power of everyday people, we can fundamentally transform politics. We can have high quality and genuinely free education and healthcare. We can invest in crucial public infrastructure like public transport, renewable energy, and affordable housing.
We can achieve all of this if we just make the big corporations and property investors pay their fair share.
The Greens will take on the big corporations that are ripping off Queenslanders. We’ll make them pay their fair share and use that money to build 100,000 public homes, fully fund schools, free childcare, hospitals and essential services. We’ll also freeze rents and cap increases.
The Greens will make groceries cheaper by breaking up the duopoly power of Coles and Woolies and stopping corporate price gouging for essentials. We’ll cut power bills with 100% publicly owned renewable energy, and take back control of our economy by bringing key infrastructure and services into public ownership.
As a local representative, I am committed to meeting you where you are – right in our community, listening to you, and amplifying and elevating your voices to make change for the better and a future for us all. The Greens don’t take corporate donations like Labor and the LNP, so as your representative I’ll fight for you – not vested interests.
Join my campaign and be a part of this positive change.
