Green Light Candidates

Tim Nixon (LCQ)

Tim 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

Tom Carden (Greens)

Our fight for a fairer, more just Queensland has never been more urgent. The Sunshine Coast is at a critical juncture, facing a severe housing crisis and the ever-rising cost of living.

As someone deeply committed to social justice and equality, I believe it’s time for real change in our communities. That’s why I’m running for the seat of Ninderry – to ensure our region has a voice that truly represents the needs of everyday people.

The Queensland Greens offer the most compassionate and transformative solutions, from making housing affordable and accessible for all, protecting our precious environment, ensuring public ownership of essential services, and providing free, high-quality public schools for all.

I’ve seen and experienced first hand the challenges many in our community face. We need leadership that doesn’t just offer band aid solutions but actually addresses the root causes of these issues with bold, progressive policies.

Together, with the Queensland Greens, we can build a Sunshine Coast – and a Queensland – that works for everyone, not just the rich. 

I’m proud to be a part of this fight for a future where everyone can thrive, no matter their background or circumstances. Let’s create a fairer, greener Queensland for all. Will you help me?
