Outstanding Green Light Candidates

Trent is the Legalise Cannabis candidate for Playford.

Photo withheld at the candidate’s request due to the ongoing stigma surrounding cannabis law reform. Ending this stigma is part of why we are standing candidates.

Trent Oehme our candidate for Playford is standing to give South Australians the opportunity to have their say on sensible cannabis law reform.

He supports the Legalise Cannabis South Australia Party’s proposed Cannabis Amnesty, which would allow adults to grow cannabis at home for personal medicinal use without prescriptions or penalties. The policy is designed to support patients facing financial hardship, those unable to secure specialist appointments, and families who rely on cannabis to treat their conditions.

The amnesty would restore fairness by allowing patients to access safe and affordable treatment without being forced back into the illicit market. It promotes patient autonomy, reduces unnecessary criminal penalties and supports people who have been affected by recent restrictions on medicinal cannabis prescribing.

Trent also supports changes to South Australia’s drug driving laws so that prescribed medicinal cannabis patients are not penalised simply for the presence of cannabis in saliva when they are not impaired and are following their doctor’s instructions.

Green Light Candidates

Hi, I’m David Wright

I’m honoured to be your Greens candidate for Playford. I have lived in the North Eastern suburbs for the last 30 years. I’m running because I want to see action on key issues such as climate change and housing.  I want to see a fair deal for all Australians while maintaining the environment for future generations. 

I believe that all Australians have a right to education, jobs, housing and health services. The Greens will prioritise those things ahead of maximising corporate profits. I also believe we need to address climate change by moving to renewable energy, and that it should be done while minimising the impact to people’s jobs and cost of living. 

My wife and I migrated from the UK 30 years ago. I have worked my whole life as an engineer and currently work as a systems engineer in the aerospace industry.  

Politics should be about what’s best for the people, now and for future generations. The two major parties are too keen to support their corporate donors. I would like to represent you and put your interests front and centre.

This moment demands strong climate action.

If you’re worried about the climate crisis, you’re not alone.

Millions of us are worried about rising power bills, environmental destruction and protecting our families from extreme weather. 

Labor has approved over 25 more coal and gas projects while in office, while the Liberals’ commitment to fossil fuels remains stronger than ever.

Both take millions in donations from coal and gas corporations to fund their election campaigns. They’re working for their donors, not for people, our planet or the future.

With the Greens in the balance of power in the Senate, this parliament has a real opportunity to deliver strong climate action. 

Our plan for ambitious climate action

Our wins on climate and clean energy have shown what’s possible. Now it’s time to push further and lead the world in the move away from coal and gas.

1. Stop new coal and gas.
2. Expand publicly-owned renewable energy.
3. End the billions in handouts to coal, oil and gas corporations.
4. End native forest logging.
5. Lower power bills by transitioning to more reliable, clean energy.
6. Subsidise solar & batteries for homes & businesses.
7. End fossil fuel subsidies for all industries except agriculture.
8. Save koalas and our wildlife from extinction.
9. Create thousands of jobs during the transition.
10. Provide grants and low-interest loans to help households and small businesses electrify, install solar batteries, and cut emissions and energy bills.
