Andrew McLean
The Greens
I’m sick of politicians with a small vision of how the world is, so I ran for the last state election and am back again to speak truth to power.
Have you ever tried to meet with an MP? The major parties’ way of doing politics doesn’t work for everyday people. They don’t listen. They don’t want to listen. The Greens are different. We’re a grassroots, people-powered movement — and as your MP I’ll be all about empowering our community, not just doing tick-and-flick consultation.
I run a housing not-for profit and in my former life, I was a mechanic, a youth worker and a pastor. I’ve had a varied career but it’s all been about helping people and loving my community. I joined the Greens because they don’t take corporate donations.
Big corporations don’t give money from the goodness of their hearts. They do it to buy outcomes. Just in Queensland, Labor and LNP have taken $25.3 million in donations from big corporations in the last decade, so of course they will never stand up for regular Queenslanders. I’m an environmentalist who lives my values. But you can’t protect the environment without challenging toxic and destructive economic structures. If you elect me, I’ll fight for you, our community and a fair go.
The Greens will make those big corporations pay their fair share and use that money to fully fund public schools, public hospitals and public transport. We’ll build 100,000 homes that real people can afford to rent or buy.
We’ll cap essential grocery prices and bring in a public bank to keep interest rates low. Every time the Government tries to screw over renters and mortgage holders, or line the pockets of mining companies, I’ll be there fighting back.
Remember: nothing changes if nothing changes.
Andrew Powell
Liberal National Party
Being a member of Parliament is an extraordinary privilege. I have never taken it for granted and seek your vote to continue to serve you. I will work as part of a cohesive LNP team with the right plan and a fresh start for Queensland and to end Labor’s reign of crises.
Over the past fifteen years, I’ve worked tirelessly to upgrade our local infrastructure, enhancing our community’s safety and accessibility. Labor have let our community down time and time again and nothing will change unless we change the government by voting 1 LNP.
I want to see further improvements, particularly at the intersection of Maleny-Landsborough and Maleny-Montville Road, where we have secured $7 million in funding towards essential safety upgrades. This project, along with others, will be a priority under a Crisafulli LNP Government.
We will also deliver the long-overdue rail upgrade to Beerwah, extending the service to Maroochydore. This crucial infrastructure project will not only improve public transport access but will also include a dedicated bike and footpath between Glasshouse Mountains and Beerwah, encouraging healthier, active modes of transportation.
We’ve also committed to protecting Maleny’s Dark Sky status, ensuring our region maintains its unique environmental character. And, just in time for another fire season, we’ve pledged to fast track the rollout of digital fire signs, starting with the towns that currently have no signage at all – Mooloolah Valley and Glasshouse Mountains.
An LNP Government will address our cost of living, crime, housing and health crises – for more details please see /therightplan
Our community needs a Fresh Start and the LNP has the Right Plan to deliver it. Only changing the government with a vote for the LNP will deliver change for Glass House.
Timothy Hallcroft Legalise Cannabis Queensland Party
I come from a family that has struggled with real problems and real life. I have worked hard to get to where I am and do not take this for granted.
Through out the last month or so, talking to people about the way things on the coast and Queensland, it is clear that people want trust more than anything else from the Government.
The forced shut down of the legitimate vape industry has seen myself return back to construction and with the closure of my shop, have seen first hand how the Government has failed the people and not listened to the true facts but have gone on their own volition to implement a now failed policy.
Yes this is the Federal government I am speaking of but this has a roll on effect in to State Government as well. It is clear that at least 90% of all the workers, employees and contractors I have spoken to are not happy with the two major parties.
I aim to bring a non biased, non-judgemental, factual based approach to parliament if I am elected. One thing that life has taught me is that integrity and honesty does bring respect and that is how I will always be in life.
I know that some of the decisions that need to be made will be hard and not everyone will be happy with the outcome but in the state of disrepair that we the Queensland people are in these hard calls will need to be made.
Rest assured Legalise Cannabis Queensland does not take donations from big corporate or any entity, which gives us the ability to put the Queensland people first and foremost above all. This gives us a unique perspective on what needs to be done.
We will create new industry and new jobs driving Queensland into the future. The one thing that stands out with LCQ party is that all members are people who understand the difficulties of life and are living it the same as everyone else so please consider a new party that knows real life.
Humphrey Caspersz Australian Labor Party
As a father of four, I understand the cost of living pressures on families in the Glasshouse electorate, which is why I’m proud to be part of the Miles Labor Government team which is delivering record relief for Queenslanders.
In my many conversations with the people of Glasshouse, they are telling me the $1000 power rebate, 20 percent of rego and 50 cent fares are making a big difference to household budgets. Only Labor can be trusted on cost of living measures, the LNP will cut them.
The LNP will also cut health services on the Sunshine Coast to help pay for its $17 billion in unfunded election promises. David Crisafulli has committed to a balanced budget at the same time as reducing tax, leaving the LNP no choice but to cut.
Detailed modelling shows that across the Sunshine Coast area, the services at the Sunshine Coast University Hospital and more than 958 health jobs are at risk under a David Crisafulli Government. The Direct Sunshine Coast Rail Line will be a gamechanger for the Sunshine Coast. A gamechanger that only a Labor Government will deliver.
The LNP’s alternative is unfunded and the experts say unachievable. What scares me most about the potential for an LNP government is the plan it has to abolish women’s reproductive rights. The Miles Labor Government has made its stance on women’s reproductive rights perfectly clear – we will never make abortion a criminal offence again.
It’s a great privilege to be a candidate in this election. And I make this promise, if elected I will fight for you every day, listen and act on your concerns about cost of living, support record health investment, get the Sunshine Coast Rail Line delivered and protect women’s reproductive rights.
Don’t risk LNP cuts. Vote Labor.
