Ipswich/ 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.

Amanda Holly (Greens)

As a long-time resident of Ipswich, it’s been troubling to witness our community grappling with rising living costs, poor air quality, frequent floods, a shortage of affordable housing, and limited access to medical care, all under the watch of the current Labor government.

In my full-time role advocating for a kinder world for animals, I’ve been deeply disappointed by this Labor government’s decision to invest tens of millions of dollars in a new greyhound track in Ipswich. At a time when people are struggling to feed their families and pay their rent, this money should instead be spent on initiatives that improve lives rather than exploit animals for the harmful gambling industry

It’s equally distressing to see our beautiful wildlife habitats being destroyed to benefit property developers. The Labor government has allowed four-fifths of our remnant vegetation to be bulldozed, endangering species like koalas, which are now on the brink of extinction.

As your representative for Ipswich, I will be a relentless advocate for sustainable development. I will ensure that future growth is balanced with environmental stewardship, and I will hold the waste industry accountable for its actions, protecting our community and environment from further harm. Our environment is not a commodity to be exploited; it is a precious resource that must be preserved for future generations.

Above all, I will work tirelessly for the people in our community who are struggling with rising rents, housing shortages, and the escalating costs of daily living

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

We deserve a government that prioritises the needs of the people over political donors. The Greens don’t take corporate donations like Labor and the LNP do. As your MP, I will serve the best interests of all members of our community – not those of wealthy donors.
