Green Light Candidates
Riley Aickin (LCP)
Riley qualifies as an Outstanding Green Light Candidate
Riley Aickin is a dedicated advocate for sensible cannabis law reform and the full potential of cannabis across medical, recreational, and industrial sectors.
With a background in sustainability and recycling, Riley understands the challenges Australia faces in managing waste from clothing and building materials. He sees hemp as a game-changing, sustainable alternative that can support a circular economy and reduce environmental impact.
Riley believes cannabis law reform will give states the power to legalise cannabis, for both medical and recreational use, without conflicting Commonwealth regulations. Whether Australians choose to use cannabis or not, everyone stands to benefit from the job creation and tax revenue that legalisation would bring.
As a medical cannabis user, Riley has experienced firsthand the life-changing benefits it can provide. He also understands the stigma faced by everyday Australians simply trying to manage their health or unwind after a hard day’s work. It’s time for a fairer, more practical approach to cannabis in Australia.
LCP endorses the 3R’s and supports the Climate Rescue Accord
Payal Tiwari (Greens)
I’m a local candidate with the skills to take action. I’ve called Australia home for 33 years, having migrated with my family in 1991 and built a career as a leader in technology, transformation and family violence, breaking barriers as an Indian single mum in a male-dominated industry.
My experience spans management consulting, IT strategy, account management and implementation across a range of leading organisations, sectors and geographies. I’ve also contributed to significant policy reforms, including providing multicultural perspectives to the Frankston Specialist Family Violence Court. I want to bring this same drive to tackle the issues of affordable housing, cost-of-living pressures, better public infrastructure, and support for migrants and refugees.
I’m ready to represent our community and fight for solutions that ensure everyone can thrive in the southeast. Change won’t happen overnight, but the first step is voting for someone who will fight for it. Vote 1 Greens.
