Jason Gann announced his candidacy which attracted some very hardcore Wilfred fans to the Burleigh 420 Picnic in the Park. The Party managed to get the good word out to a fair few new connections - the re-education of (some of) the masses is working!
With candidates stepping forward across the Gold Coast and beyond, 2024 will be the year cannabis law reform becomes a fixture on the electoral scene. Don't forget that you too can help, you can join for free, volunteer your time or donate (every little bit helps). |
Burleigh Heads enjoyed perfect Gold Coast weather for their 420 Picnic and a great day was had by all!|
Meredith, Suzette and Nell on the Gold Coast! |

The weather was not as kind on the Sunshine Coast (where there was not a lot of sunshine) but several hardcore cannabis law reform activists and a few new faces got together for their 420 Picnic in the Park. The Vice President of the Party, Melody Lindsay a Nambour local (standing in Nicklin), was in attendance alongside recently endorsed candidates including Caboolture local, Rosie Doolan (standing in the seat of Pumicestone).Out west in Dalby, it bucketed down, and the Dalby 420 Picnic was a complete washout (great for some of the farmers though)! Local Legalise Cannabis Party candidate and long-time Party member, Angela Adams, put on a smile and muttered something about next year and just how much she is looking forward to campaigning far and wide, out west, for the Party in the October State Election campaign.

In Newstead (Brisbane) the Buds & Bowls 420 commemoration was a roaring success, with a whole raft of networking and education between party members including the President of Legalise Cannabis Queensland, and many representatives from the cannabis industry, who showed a lot of interest in the goals of the Party. Legalise Cannabis Queensland Party candidate for Bundaberg, Ian Zunker was also in attendance. |

Western Australia had a most enjoyable get together in Fremantle with Dr Brian Walker and Captain Cannabis spreading the good word! Employing some of the youngest volunteers to help with merchandising (many hands make light work, and it is fun), badges are very popular and you can get yours at the next Legalise Cannabis Queensland Party event near you!|

Flagstaff Gardens in Melbourne saw a couple of hundred people turn out with four of 36 arrestees probably going to end up in court, the others received cautions. The police presence was reliably reported as easily half of what it was last year! |

In Nimbin, with the rain tumbling down, Michael Balderstone, President of the Legalise Cannabis Australia Party, invited everyone onto the covered area outside the HEMP Embassy (otherwise known as the footpath), out of the rain, to commemorate 420 at 4.20pm!
