SEE and hear what the Oodgeroo candidates have to say ahead of the Queeensland election on November 25.
Candidates are listed in the order their names will appear on the ballot.
Brad Scott – The Greens
Brad Scott was a founding member of the Redland Branch of the Queensland Greens Party and has ran as a candidate in two state and two federal elections.
The reason he joined the Greens over 10 years ago was to try and bring a balance to the old party politics that seemed more concerned about staying in power and keeping large amount of corporate and industry donations pouring in to achieve that aim.
Adani and Toondah Harbour (Walker option) represent projects that are seeking approval and tax payer money from political parties that have taken massive donations from the companies!
The Greens have fully costed, progressive policies that can achieve this including our public transport initiative that means $3 fares to the city from the Islands: https://greens.org.au/initiatives/qld
1. #StopAdani
2. Upgrade Toondah Harbour without the developer strings attached
3. Implement our public transport overhaul with $3 fares from the Redlands including the Islands.
The Greens have already had a massive influence on the Brisbane City Council with just one councillor.
With elected representatives in the state parliament we can finally start to see some progressive policies formed from evidence based research rather than favours to corporate donors.

Tony Austin – Australian Labor Party
Hi, I’m Tony Austin and I’m the Labor candidate for Oodgeroo.
I’m a Bayside local through and through and I know what’s important for our community – jobs, health and education.
Right now, our community needs someone who will work hard to create jobs and deliver on projects to help us manage growth.
The new $22 million Eastern Transitway along Old Cleveland Road is a great example of what a future Labor government led by Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk will deliver.
Our local community deserves a stable government that creates jobs, not one that cuts them.
