Maureen Brohman is proud to be running as your candidate for the Pine Rivers electorate in the upcoming QLD State Election.

Maureen is compassionate, hard working and dedicated to creating a better life for all. 

As an AJP candidate, Maureen is continuing her years of advocacy for other animals with whom we share our planet Earth. She has lived and worked in the Moreton Bay Shire for more than 30 years and  worked as a primary school teacher for most of that time. She is a seasoned animal advocate, attending demonstrations and committing many years to the rescue of wildlife, dogs and birds in the  region.

“I am extremely excited and humbled to run as a candidate for the Animal Justice Party and for the opportunity to advocate for human and non-human animals. I can’t sit back while animal cruelty and greed are rife in areas such as the racing industries and intensive puppy and kitten farms. Our planet is being destroyed and environmental issues are out of control. In these times, it is vital to create an economy where the basic needs of people and their companion animals are also met by providing housing and improving the cost of living. Someone must speak up. We must protect the future.” 

Living the AJP’s principles of Kindness, Equality, Rationality and Non-Violence, Maureen is intent on cracking down on animal cruelty, restoring the natural world and improving the lives of all. 

If elected, she will call for a Parliamentary inquiry and a whole life tracking system for dogs bred for the greyhound industry and profit.  

Maureen will work to amend the current animal protection governance framework in Queensland which is founded on animals’ legal status as property which makes certain areas of animal cruelty ‘legal. 

Maureen is passionate about the natural world and believes that conservation efforts and laws are weak, merely limiting the damage we as humans inflict on nature. She will work to stop environmental destruction and introduce rehabilitation programs to restore ecosystems which will also help people by improving resilience to disease and ensuring vital food security.

 “There is no more time for complacency or ignorance. Education and action are essential to halt the reality of what is really happening to animals and our planet. The extinction of our most vulnerable is a very real concern. The state  government must take the lead and get to work. We must equip and empower present and future generations by including many facets of life including social justice, animal justice, environmental justice and critical thinking skills in Education to address issues that relate to creating a just and compassionate world for all.”
