Outstanding Green Light Candidates

Brett is the Legalise Cannabis candidate for Taylor.

He is a printer machinist by trade and has worked in the printing industry for over 20 years. He is currently employed as a computer CAD programmer and also holds a Diploma in Mechanical Engineering.

Brett is married with two adult sons.

He served six years on the committee in various roles for the Ducati Owners Club of South Australia.

In 2003 he was involved in an industrial accident which resulted in a back injury. He underwent surgery in 2004 and has lived with constant pain for 22 years.

Over the years he has been prescribed many different prescription painkillers, none of which worked very well and all of which had unpleasant side effects. He now relies on cannabis and says that without a doubt it has been effective and well suited to long term use.

Brett feels very strongly about cannabis law reform and wants to do what he can to help make changes to unfair laws, especially regarding testing of motorists for the presence of residual cannabinoids in saliva rather than for impairment.

He is also a passionate supporter of expanding the hemp industry in South Australia, with a strong interest in renewable resources such as hemp based plastics and hemp paper.

Green Light Candidates

Hi, I’m Xander Osborne

I am running for Taylor because the communities in the north deserve affordable housing, better services and stronger environmental protections. We deserve better.

I have lived in the north of South Australia all my life, so I have seen the problems we have to deal with on a day to day basis. It feels like every year we face more homelessness and economic hardship, with our communities being made to deal with less than we deserve. We deserve better funded public services, stronger environmental protections and an easier time buying a home. 

I have worked with the Anti Poverty Network to help people in my community deal with the economic hardship that we have been facing. Before that, I worked with the RSPCA and the Coalition for the Protection of Greyhounds, in both cases I wanted to protect animals from inhumane treatment. I have already worked to promote fairness and equity. 

The north has trusted the same party to deliver for longer than I have been alive. We have seen economic struggle build in the north because the political establishment stopped delivering on their promises. I am going to fight for investment into public housing, restrictions for big corporations and what they can do to our environment, and bigger funding for public services my community depends on. I will fight for our community.

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.
