How to vote CARD – Marijuana (HEMP) Party, House of Representatives
Electorate of Solomon, Federal Election 2016

Vote 1 Lance Lawrence, obviously.

Major parties last for obvious reasons. Our two party system sucks and their words are empty.

The more Lazaruses, Lambies, Oakshots and Windsors we have, the better placed our democracy is to reflect the community’s aspirations in the proper scrutiny of ALL legislation for its relevance to doing the greatest amount of good for the greatest amount of people.

While sympathetic to all their causes, the Greens have been placed last with major parties for their antidemocratic collusion with the Liberals in the Senate to do away with minor parties. Party fever and prospects of dividends is confusing their “grassroots” origins, and their preference distribution choices in some Australian electorates is questionable at best.

By swapping preferences between minor parties and independents, we stand a better chance of sending a message or a messenger to Canberra.

Every one needs a 'Plantem' 2016 Growers Licence.

Lance Lawrence is fed up with the state of Territory politics.

For 50 year the "man of the land" has lived in the Territory and watched as governments have tried and "failed" to deliver better outcomes for Territorians.

"I am completely incensed about what is happenng now," Lance told Rural Weekly.

"My main concern is the health and education of the Aboriginal people."

"I came to the Territory 50 years ago and the lack of resources in remote communities is a joke"
