Their stated priorities

  1. “A key focus of Liam’s campaign is expanding industrial hemp as a homegrown industry through supporting local manufacturing, research and hemp-based building materials while subsequently reducing unnecessary regulatory barriers for our farmers.”
  2. “He supports sensible cannabis law reform, including a regulated market that moves towards protecting young people from illicit supply through consumer guidelines and generates much needed revenue for public services.”
  3. “Liam will advocate for a statewide moratorium on new data centre approvals until stronger planning safeguards; greater transparency and impactful community consultation are in place.”

Crime and bail

  • Profile13 Nov 2026“He argues reform can reduce the burden on police resources and allow them to focus on serious violent crimes while addressing a criminal market that continues to thrive under prohibition.”Legalise Cannabis Victoria candidate profile
  • Profile13 Nov 2026“Liam also advocates for medicinal cannabis law reform that prioritises actual impairment to maintain road safety, while ensuring patients aren't criminalised for using doctor-prescribed cannabis to manage pain, keeping people out of the criminal justice system and reducing unnecessary pressure on the justice system.”Legalise Cannabis Victoria candidate profile
