After the ballot draw on Feburary 13th 2025 the team at Vote Climate One will upload the Fremantle Traffic Light Voting Guide to this page. You will then be able to download the guide to your own computer, print, and fill it in at home and then take it to the polling booth with you. It’s super easy then to transfer your choices onto the ballot paper.  Alternatively, take your phone with you when you head off to vote, and you can then access our advice on the screen.

In the meantime, you can scroll down this page to check out the Green Light Candidate profiles in your electorate.

The team at Vote Climate One encourages all candidates to support the 3Rs and the Climate Rescue Accord to underpin any decisions in the West Australian House of Assembly and Legislative Council relating to action on the climate emergency.

Green Light Candidates

Felicity Townsend (Greens)

For years, I was involved in small-scale sustainability and community advocacy work. I saw the positive effects that local action could have, but it soon became clear to me that working within a broken system can only get you so far – if you want to make a substantial difference, you have to change the system.

There’s something special about Freo – if you live here, you know what I mean. But successive State governments have taken us for granted. They’ve pushed through projects and changes without stopping to ask us: is this right for Fremantle? 

We’ve seen promises of public housing, only to have the development sites left empty for years on end, exacerbating the housing crisis. We’ve seen a new police precinct sprung on us, with no thought given to maintaining our City’s culture. And we’ve had to fight tooth and nail to have our voices heard when the Government tried to force their woefully inadequate Traffic Bridge redevelopment plan on us. Time and time again, Fremantle has been taken for granted.

We deserve a representative who will stand up to the State Government and tell them that our community will have its voice heard. We need someone who will do more than just rubber-stamp whatever the Government wants to do – someone who will force the Government to come to the table, early, and with open minds, and work with the community, not against us. 

This election, a vote for The Greens is a vote for a voice for the Freo community. It is a vote for real action on the housing crisis. It is a vote for sustainable and thoughtful urban and community development. It is a vote for a future that Freo deserves. 

A better future for Fremantle is possible – but if we want change, we have to make it happen together. Join me, and our Greens movement. Sign up to volunteer and join our team!
