Hi, I’m Kristie. I am so proud to be representing the Greens for the seat of Redlands.

I am a mother of three and a staunch environmental and animal welfare advocate. 

I am also a long-term health professional, having worked in pathology laboratories in a range of technical, clerical and management roles. Over the last 22 years, I have worked across many different specialties, in both public and private sectors. I have an in-depth understanding of the industry and particularly, the challenges faced by front-line public healthcare workers, due to under-funding, staff shortages, fatigue, stress and burnout.

The Greens have a comprehensive economic plan that will provide relief from the unprecedented cost of living crisis that we are experiencing. 

We will take on the big corporations that are ripping off Queenslanders. We’ll make them pay their fair share and inject billions of dollars into the budget to be spent on building 100,000 public homes, free healthcare, free public transport, free education and community and youth programs. We will also freeze rents and cap increases, and make groceries cheaper with caps on essentials.

As somebody who wears many hats - I’m a mother of children at primary and secondary schools, a daughter to ageing parents, a continuous shift worker in the public healthcare setting and environmental/peace warrior - I know these things are attainable and will have a marvellous effect on our community. People will be able to live more comfortably, get from one place to another more easily, learn, get the medical services they need and feel connected to their community through hobbies and sporting groups. 

I will serve our community, and fight for what is right. I will listen to you and stand up for what matters to you. The Greens don’t accept corporate donations like the old parties, so I will work for you, not vested interests. 

I will not support genocide. I will not sell-out our precious habitat/landscapes to property developers who only want to make massive profits. I will support community consultation on infrastructure projects and ensure that our precious environment is never destroyed in the process.

Let’s send a message to the old parties that we are fed up with their inability to provide long-term solutions to the huge problems that we face as a society. If you want to see positive change in the Redlands, join my campaign and vote Green in October.
