Denise Crew, Troy Miller and Josh Holt, FNQ Greens Candidates, talking about the 2024 State Elections. The Queensland Greens were founded on 22 September 1991. Locally-based and independent of corporate interests, they are affiliated with the Australian Greens and part of a worldwide network of Greens parties. With more Greens in Parliament, they aim to fight to address the cost of living and housing crisis, tackle climate change, and tax big corporations fairly to fund essential services. At the last federal election, they made history in Qld and elected more Greens than ever before.
