The Queensland Greens’ newest candidate for the federal senate will run against Pauline Hanson in 2022.
Penny Allman-Payne, a teacher, lawyer, and former Convenor of Queensland Greens says she will prioritise increasing jobkeeper to $80/day if elected.
“The Morrison LNP government loves to pit the cities against the regions, but as someone who grew up in regional Queensland, and still lives there, I can tell you that we all share common interests and goals,” said Ms Allman-Payne.
The Greens hope the 2022 election will tip the balance of power in the Senate away from the conservative parties.
