Local Issues

Here in Paddington, the election is going to come down to a choice between the LNP and the Greens.

After 20 years of the LNP-run Council prioritising the interests of big corporations, we now have the opportunity to elect a local representative who will fight to make big developers pay their fair share for the infrastructure and services we need to live a good life in the city.

The Greens don't take corporate donations, so we will always fight for you.

For more information about what your Greens Team is fighting for in our local area, check out the local issues being worked on by Michael Berkman, State MP for Maiwar here, by Elizabeth Watson-Brown, Federal MP for Ryan here and by Stephen Bates, Federal MP for Brisbane.

You can also find out more information about our Brisbane-wide policy platform this Council election here.
