Green Light Candidates

Tim Hallcroft (LCQ)

Tim 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

Andrew McLean (Greens)

I’ve been a youth worker, pastor, concreter and had my own mobile mechanic business. I run a housing non-profit and I am skilled at changing toxic organisations to more collaborative models – which will be handy in parliament!

Right now, politics isn’t working for everyday Queenslanders. Why? The old parties are controlled by corporations, billionaires and property developers so they govern for them – not us. 

But the Greens have built a people-powered movement of ordinary Australians designed to break the two party system. Which is why, last time I ran for Glass House, the fossil fuel industry spent millions on anti-Greens ads. This time, we have even more parties, spending more money, which shows you we are on the right track – because we don’t answer to billionaires. We answer to you. 

I’m passionate about publicly-owned institutions (privatisation has failed us), free healthcare, the environment, a rent freeze and making big corporations pay their fair share so we can use that revenue to build affordable housing, create more bulk-billing clinics and provide genuinely free public transport and education. 

The Greens will also tackle the cost of living by breaking up the duopoly of Coles and Woolies, stop price gouging on essentials and make power bills cheaper through renewable energy.

The Greens are fundamentally different. We have evidence-based policies developed through consensus decision making and we’re powered by the wonderful work of our volunteers, not big money.

Together, we can transform politics in Queensland and give every Queenslander the things they need to live a good life. Will you help me?
