As the State election drums begin to beat Greens candidate Jim Clark is intent on putting his own shade of politics back into the spectrum.

Marching under the slogan of 'we believe in our policies, not in being re-elected', Mr Clark has the two major parties in his sights.

"The major parties have already turned this election campaign into a law and order debate," the Bundanoon candidate said.

"By doing this both parties find themselves in very safe terrain without having to deal with any real policy issues.

"That's why when it comes to preferences I believe that Labor has to earn our support.

"They didn't in the last election and I think that really hurt them but we simply didn't agree with Labor on many of their policies."

Dispelling the popular notion that the Greens are a single-issue party, Mr Clark went on to discuss where he as a Green candidate stood and what that meant for the Highlands.

"Overdevelopment is the biggest issue for the Highlands, so questions of sustainability and the direction of development must be considered," the 48-year-old said.

"Already there have been some developments in the Highlands that are inappropriate, so we have to work hard at finding solutions."

Pointing to perceived conflict between farmers in the Highlands and possible Green representation, Mr Clark said it was imperative that farmers must be given the opportunity to be sustainable while maintaining environmental balance.

"We need our farmers, it's as simple as that, so co-operation is needed when it comes to agriculture and the environment," he said.

Mr Clark further pointed to small business, tourism and environment all working hand in hand to build a successful Highlands economy.

Mr Clark will go into the election with added confidence following the Greens' recent success in the Tasmanian State election and his strong performance last time.
