Green Light Candidates

Shaun Sandow (LCQ)

Shaun 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

Queensland Legalise Cannabis Party have fully endorsed the 3R’s and the Climate Rescue Accord

Deborah Moseley (Greens)

I moved to Queensland 28 years ago, and to the Sunshine Coast in 2007 while working on a project for inclusive employment opportunities in the Queensland Tourism Industry. 

My career started in hospitality, including managing restaurants and hotels. My passion was creating careers for disadvantaged youth. 

I have Degrees in Tourism Management and Community Development and Education. I have also served on the board of community centres, Reconciliation groups and my beautiful choir.

I am widowed and have one adult child – a musician who brings pride and joy to my life. 

Buderim is at the heart of this region, a region that boasts one of the world’s most diverse biospheres. I celebrate the richness and community life here. I want to hear what you want from the Queensland government and serve those needs in the future.  

Right now, the inequity in our community is growing. Too many people are one paycheck away from homelessness and hunger. But it doesn’t have to be this way. If we make big corporations pay their fair share, we can all have the services we need to live a good life.

Unlike Labor and the LNP, the Greens don’t take donations from big business so we’ll 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 freeze rents and cap increases. We’ll 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. 

The Sunshine Coast residents have the highest car dependency in Queensland – we need to provide effective town plans and free, frequent public transport to make it easy to get from place to place.

We’ll raise the age of criminal responsibility so that 10 year olds are no longer put in prison but instead given guidance to find a new path. 

All of our children deserve a better future with housing security, a healthy planet, beautiful wildlife and support for all aspects of their wellbeing. 

Will you help be part of the change in Queensland?
