The team at Vote Climate One is constantly assessing the climate credentials of parties and independent candidates. In Queensland the Labor Party has been ranked orange ahead of the Liberal National Party and a whole group of other Red Light parties.

Don’t underestimate the power of your vote in the few electorates in which progressive candidates are standing. Our Traffic Light Voting System is biased towards helping Queenslanders elect a minority government forced to work with solidly-progressive cross-bench representitives.

Now the ballot draw has been finalised we are scrambling to finalise our voting guides to be ready for early voting on Monday October 14th.

We will list Green Light and Outstanding Green Light Candidates on the electorate pages links listed in the chart above. Check out the credentials of these candidates. There are now live links for 93 electorates. It is unfortunate that in some electorates voters have no Green Light candidates from which to choose.

Any candidate or party which will be prepared to formally support the 3Rs and the Climate Rescue Accord are automatically ranked as outstanding Green Light candidates in our voting advice.

We take the assessment of independents seriously. Their potential role of holding the balance of power in a minority Queensland government could be exactly what the doctor ordered to revitalise this state’s politics. Sometimes, though, it is very difficult to find appropriate contact details for these candidates. Consequently,we apply the precautionary principle and use a initial Red Light ranking. These rankings can be adjusted if evidence of commitment to urgent action on global warming becomes evident. Please contact Rob on 0427 580803 if there are good reasons to change a candidate’s Traffic Light ranking. Our advice is biased to supporting progressive independents.

In a state election local issues are paramount for candidates and electors. Our assessment, though, is purely about climate. Consequently, our advice is for those electors who want to be confident that their preferred representatives will stand up for climate action when relevant legislation comes before the Queensland Legislature. Yes, local issues are important, but the science is screaming at us that our very survival is dependent on treating global warming as an emergency. Preference Green Light Candidates first in order of your choice. Preference Orange Light Candidates next and lastly preference Red Light Candidates. Those candidates we mark with a red light are generally a dangerous choice for effective action to stop global warming.

Prepolling in the Queensland election will start on Monday October 14th.

We are assessing all political parties and independent candidates. Candidates who are standing under a party banner are assessed with their party ranking. Please contact us if you have information which will help us with the assessment process. Phone Rob on 0427580803.

Any candidate who is prepared to formally support the 3Rs and the Climate Rescue Accord is automatically ranked as an outstanding Green Light candidate in our voting advice.

Dr Hall reports in our Climate Sentinel News that the flood of climate records broken over the last year shows that we have unleashed several kinds of feedback loops driving runaway warming. This presents a truly existential emergency on a global scale. NOTHING ELSE MATTERS if we don’t stop and reverse the warming. Humans may soon be extinct if we fail. 

Global mobilisation is urgently required to have any chance to achieve reversal of global warming before societies begin to collapse under the weight of cascading sequences of extreme weather events as our planet grows ever hotter, ever faster and faster. Because special interests have captured our major political parties to control governments for their benefit, they are doing everything they can to prevent effective responses to the climate emergency that might harm those interests. 

Climate Rescue Accord is promoting the kinds of actions that will lead to a Green Transition. Vote Climate One is doing what we can to show people how to change governments by replacing their unrepresentative parliamentarians with genuine climate-aware and progressive politicans. The Green Transition will be driven by leadership committed to Climate Rescue Accord policy initiatives and their implementation.
