Last year, in response to plans for a private developer to build 855 high-end homes on former Defence department land in Bulimba in the electorate, Chandler-Mather enlisted the aid of some 100 supporters to build a community garden on the route of the proposed four-lane access road. After the 2020 state poll, he and his team didn’t stand down they kept knocking on doors.īut they did more than that, too. The party’s candidate, Max Chandler-Mather, was the strategist behind the campaign for the state seat of South Brisbane in 2020, and before that for another state seat, Maiwar, in 2017, and before that for a local government ward within Griffith in 2016. The Greens’ campaign for the Brisbane seat of Griffith began long before Scott Morrison drove to government house to call the election.
