Joanne is the Animal Justice Party (AJP) candidate for the Federal division of Ryan, west Brisbane. She treasures the local wildlife and habitat of Ryan’s invaluable national parks and bushland.  

“The AJP aims to be a voice for animals in parliament. Laws and policies at every level of government affect the daily lives of animals and nature, but few are advocating for their interests in Parliament. I aim to change that.”

Renee Stewart ran as a candidate for the Animal Justice Party (AJP) within the federal division of McPherson on the Gold Coast.  

Renee has lived on the coast for over 14 years and is known locally as an advocate for animal rights. She organises and conducts positive outreach events which educate the public about the unjust practices within factory farming.  

Renee’s main goals this election will include ending the cruel practice of live animal export, and transitioning farmers away from intensive animal agriculture towards sustainable, climate-appropriate horticulture.  

“We live in a critical moment in time where our current lifestyle is affecting our environment to our own detriment. My goal is to encourage society to re-examine our relationship with nature in order to develop a more balanced, sustainable and cruelty-free lifestyle. A lot of this starts from the top with policy change and law reform.”

Did you know that the food we eat has an energetic effect on our health and can dramatically affect our mood. 90% of our serotonin (feel good) receptors are found in our stomachs, so it makes sense that what we eat impacts how we feel.

In one of the most uplifting episodes ever, Chelsea shares her health journey and tells us about Well + Happy, the Gold Coast's first plant-based caterer, offering feel good food for events, weddings and businesses...and soon for home delivery!  

Chelsea has an amazing attitude of gratitude, and she explains the benefits of infusing this attitude into the food we eat. This is an episode full of positive energy to lift your spirits.
