I have lived in the area for most of life. I work as a Managing Law Clerk, and I am also studying a Bachelor of Science majoring in Chemistry. I am passionate about the environment, tackling climate change and making our government work for everyone.

For too long now, our politicians have forgotten about ordinary people. They seem to be focused only on their corporate donors. We need to overhaul the political donation laws to bring the focus back to ordinary people. Continuing with the “business as usual” mindset is not working.  We deserve better. 

Investment in public health, public education and social housing needs to increase across our state. Everyone, no matter their financial circumstances, must have the same access to these essential services and a roof over their heads. We need more bulk billing GPs, hospital beds, doctors and nurses across Queensland.

People have been struggling for a long time now to afford the everyday basics just to live. COVID-19 has only worsened this. We need to implement strategies that will create jobs but also bring down the cost of living, including reducing electricity bills by 46% by reversing the electricity privatisation in Queensland.

People need hope for the future, and the Greens have a plan for the creation of long-term, stable jobs throughout our state.

Let’s bring honesty and integrity back to politics.  Let’s implement the change necessary to give us all the future we deserve.

Rodney Hansen gives his  election pitch here.

62 years old Rodney Hansen  has lived the majority of his life in the Caboolture region.

He is happily married to Helen, and is a father of 4 and grandfather of 5.

Having lived nearly his entire life in this area he is aware of many issues that are of concern to so many people. Rodney , for many years was a small business owner and is aware of the concerns, struggles and pitfalls that so many people in small business face on a daily basis. He is the founder of “Unite against Unitywater “which is a community based group set up to help people in the community with water costs issues.

Rodney was until recently the President of the Ratepayer group, the President of the Burpengary and District Men’s Shed and a member of the Wamuran Men’s Shed. Over the last few years Rodney has organised many well attended “Cost of Living ” forums. He also believes that as well as Cost of Living issues , youth crime and unemployment are major concerns to our region.

Rodney is a strong advocate for a fair go, honesty and accountability and believes that as in business, governments need to function within their allocated budgets while respecting the communities that struggle to provide these budgets. Over many years , he has been a supporter of both sides of politics. He now realises that they have lost their way. They have lost touch with the “Real” people that matter.

These people have had no real voice – Until now. This is what Pauline Hanson’s One Nation has to offer, and that is why Rodney has decided to stand as a candidate for One Nation.
