Morayfield/ 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
Mark Jessup (Greens)
Hailing from Townsville in North Queensland, I set out to find “home” in 2016 after my beloved Cowboys won their maiden premiership and couldn’t find a spot with more potential than the Caboolture region. In 2023, I was lucky enough to marry my wife Tiffany, who is a fierce advocate for the environment, a trait she has now passed to me.
Throughout my 15+ year work career, I have gravitated towards leadership roles, which I earned through hard work, understanding the value of relationships and genuinely caring about the future. I have always been sceptical of politics and held the belief that politicians operated in their own interests, so I thought it was time to make a change and give people the option to vote for someone who will work for them.
The political system in Australia is broken. Democracy lays in ruins as coal and gas corporations and the media dominate, while the old parties listen to their donors instead of everyday Queenslanders.
The old parties prefer to line the pockets of billionaires who pillage our natural resources then sell them back to you at a premium, and allow companies like Woolworths and Coles accumulate billions of dollars in profits by price gouging. They pretend that there is no solution, while taking massive donations from the main perpetrators of the problem.
You and I both know that the future needs to be about serving everyday people, and not just those with deep pockets.
That’s why we will take on big corporations to make them pay their fair share so we can deliver our plans for public and affordable housing, and services that you need like free childcare and properly funded schools and hospitals. We will bring key infrastructure back into public ownership including 100% renewable energy, and protect the natural beauty that makes our state the best place on earth.
With your vote, the Greens will break up the supermarket duopoly to deliver price reductions at the grocery checkout and provide cost of living relief by freezing rents and capping rent increases.
As your member for Morayfield, I will stand up to the old parties, and commit to working for the local community while refusing to take corporate donations.
When you vote Green, you join a nationwide movement of people just like you.
If you have questions, please reach out to me via email and let’s chat about how we can work together to make this happen.
