Green Light Candidates

Jacqueline Verne (LCQ)

Jacqueline 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

Joshua Riethmuller (Greens)

I believe everyone should have access to all the things they need to have a good life. Unfortunately, the greed of corporations and poor policy from successive governments has led to social inequality and a cost of living crisis where families have to choose whether to put food on the table or pay the rent.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

As the member for Logan, I will listen to your needs and speak for you in Parliament.

The Greens will freeze rents, cap increases and build 100,000 new homes – funded by making big corporations pay their fair share. 

We’ll expand Queensland’s publicly owned builder, QBuild and create a Queensland State Bank with lower rates and no fees, delivering around 1.5% lower interest rates compared to the Big 4 – making it easier to buy a home.

Healthcare is a basic human right and I will fight to ensure bulk billing GPs are easy to find again. Everyone in Logan should have access to the medical services they need, when they need them, for free. The Greens have a plan for 20 free psychology sessions per person, which would provide huge support for our community.

Logan struggles with a lack of access to regular and reliable public transport. I will fight to change this and ensure our community has access to transport that is genuinely free and frequent. Keeping cars off the roads will also help ease congestion on the roads and reduce pollution. 

This can all be funded by making big corporations pay their fair share. For too long, these multinational corporations have profited off our resources while paying tiny royalties. The Greens will take on these big corporations that are ripping off Queenslanders. This revenue will mean our schools and healthcare can be genuinely free and we can all have access to the things we need to live a good life.

Together we can make Logan a place where people are able to thrive with fairness and equality at the heart of every decision. Let’s show the government what is possible when we stand together.
