Federal Election 2022 - Questions to Candidates

Dear Candidate for Federal Seat of Wide Bay

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR DECISION TO STAND IN THE UPCOMING Federal ELECTION.

Zero Emissions Noosa Inc. was formed 5 years ago, with the goal of working with the Noosa community to deliver net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2026. We want to see the next State Member for Noosa hit the ground running, especially in developing and delivering electricity and transport emission reduction actions which respond to the grave issues of climate change confronting the planet.

Currently $77M leaves the shire every year in electricity costs, so we know that reduction in carbon emissions through energy efficiency and rooftop solar also pays financial dividends to businesses and households which go down that path. We want to keep that $77M in our shire, investing in our people and our businesses!

Rather than broad generalities, we are keen to present through our website, Facebook and newsletter, the specific responses from candidates to a series of policy proposals, particularly focussed on delivering a financially and environmentally smart and innovative Noosa region, one that can be a global leader on these critical issues.

The questions, together with brief notes can been seen below. If you wish, you can (view a PDF of information)

We request a limit of not more than 50 words per question.

We would be grateful if you could provide your responses by COB date TBD, when we will then publish in our newsletter. The ZEN website Candidate Answers Page (update this link) will be updated progressively as we receive replies. We will alert other Facebook election pages with progressive and final answers.

Please contact us at info@zeroemissionsnoosa.com.au if you have any queries.
