Drew Hutton

The Australian Greens candidate for Queensland

Lead Senate candidate, Greens, Qld

Why I am standing

I have been a committed social activist all my adult life. "Since 1984 I have been part of the process that has moved green politics from the margins to the mainstream of Australian political life. Along the way I have been privileged to represent the Party as a spokesperson and as a candidate. The Greens are now poised to enter that mainstream as a powerful force, representing the hopes and aspirations of many, many Australians.

I believe that, with fellow Greens in the Senate, I can help move this country toward a more sustainable future.
