Meet Our Lead Senate Candidate for Victoria
We are delighted to announce our lead Senate candidate for Victoria, Fiona Patten who will be known to many of you. She was first elected to Victoria’s State Parliament in 2014 and re-elected for a second term in 2018.
During those eight years she was a champion for social justice and cannabis law reform. She established a medicinal cannabis taskforce in the first major attempt to fix the ridiculous RDT laws and then was the driving force behind the Inquiry into the Use of Cannabis in Victoria.
..and she was the first political party leader to admit using cannabis regularly to relax!
"I went into parliament in 2014 as the first MP to speak about using cannabis. Cannabis reform has always been high on my to do list and is unfinished business for me. To open up law reform in the states we need to change the federal law and I intend to do just that". Fiona Patten
