About the Intending Candidates
Meet the people who are intending to nominate as candidates for the Legalise Cannabis Qld Party and run in the State Election, October 2020. We are hopeful, this time round, for a voice (or two) on the cross-bench along with other minor parties and any Independent who supports Cannabis law reform.
With a seat on the cross-bench comes the opportunity to present a Private Members Bill that would be written in consultation with ‘the people’. With the help of the Cannabis community, lobbying other MP’s to support the bill, who knows what might be possible.
When it comes to other State issues, if elected our Candidates will bring the conversation to the community via newsletter / email and or social media platforms and will ask what ‘the people’ think about the issue; engage in some debate with Party members and the community, where the elected member will vote / speak on behalf of the majority opinion voiced by ‘the people’.
Candidates, if elected, will also have electorate specific issues to deal with, so their Facebook pages will stay live. We encourage Party members and the general community to contact an elected Member with any concerns, information or ‘advice’ on electorate related matters.
Stay tuned, more Candidates coming soon!
