Qld: Greens announce lead senate candidate

A young solicitor and environmentalist is the Queensland Greens' lead senate candidate.

30-year-old environmental lawyer LARISSA WATERS says she'd like to think she has a
chance at the next election .. despite the Greens never having won a senate seat in Queensland
before.

However .. Ms WATERS says one in 12 people voted green in the last state election.

She says the Greens's senate ticket will have two more names added to it in the coming months.

Ms WILSON will be going up against former One Nation leader PAULINE HANSON .. who unsuccessfully
ran as an independent Senate candidate at the 2004 poll.
