Policies

The unique contest for the seat of Brisbane - the only electorate in the country where the three main candidates have over a decade’s experience in Parliament - provides the chance to get a proper focus on the issues that matter.

These include:

  • providing more affordable housing in the inner-city area
  • promoting effective action on climate change that addresses what the science says is needed, not what the polls say would be politically safe
  • ensuring a cleaner urban environment & more public transport
  • ensuring more sensible & less wasteful infrastructure development in our city
  • helping to create and maintain new, sustainable business opportunities
