Jason Gann (LCQ)

Jason 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

Hunter Grove-McGrath (Greens)

I am an engineering student and a proud Gold Coaster. I grew up in Burleigh – I went to school and worked here. During this time, I have seen the city I know and love change and I know we need people in Parliament who will fight for us and what we need.

Too often we see Labor and the LNP prioritise the vested interests of their rich corporate donor mates ahead of the needs of our community.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

As your representative, I will fight to ease the enormous cost of living pressures felt by families and everyday people in my community. The Greens will introduce a rent freeze and cap increases, tackle mortgage stress and the rising costs of essentials like groceries and power bills. We’ll introduce free public transport and increase the frequency and reliability of services.

We will tax big corporations fairly and use that money to build 100,000 homes and make our schools and healthcare truly free

We will fight to ensure that there are no new coal and gas mines opened in Queensland and create a fair transition for workers in this industry. The science is clear – we must move towards 100% publicly owned renewable energy sources to prevent the worst of the climate crisis. Not only will this benefit the climate, but it will also benefit your wallet with cheaper power bills.

This election is our chance to show the major parties that we are tired of the status quo and that real change is not just possible, but here. Will you join me?
