I will push to stop ads for online gambling in Queensland, even if the Australian government doesn’t.

I will push changes to stop Queensland from making and sending weapons used in a genocide.

I will say in parliament that Israel is breaking the law by stealing land and using racial apartheid, as found by the courts.
I will call in parliament for Australian trade penalties against Israel for taking land that isn’t theirs.
James’ response is provided in full because he didn’t clearly state a position in relation to 5 of the questions:
“I will have to apologise that I have not had a chance to read the report by the Queensland Conservation Council but you can read our policies regarding biodiversity and environment here.
In terms of your questions regarding the genocide of the Palestinian people in the Gaza strip. I am deeply troubled by the fact that engineering firm Farrah is making parts for the planes dropping bombs on the Gaza strip right here in the Chatsworth electorate. We have been pushing an immediate cease fire as soon as this current round of violence started and I am quite angry that the major parties don't have the courage to call this genocide for what it is. I will never excuse the actions of Hamas but the IDF has been oppressing the Palestinian people in both the Gaza strip and the West Bank. I hope I have answered your questions to your satisfaction and please feel free to reach out if you have any further queries.”
