Let’s get stronger action on climate change

• By electrifying Canberra we can ease the cost of living and take meaningful climate action. Electrify Canberra has an inspiring vision to make it easier for people to electrify their homes, including their cars. We understand that the cost of living benefits of electrification are immediate, but the up front costs are prohibitive.
• Increase the Petroleum Resource Rent Tax and resource royalties in line with other OECD nations, to fairly fund Australian health, education and investment. We want Australian resources to pay for Australian services.
• No new gas and coal. Taking advantage of our space, sun and wind, there’s money to be made and we should be making it. We need a solid and practical plan for the transition that maximises the economic opportunities.
• Ensuring our community is prepared for the next natural disaster, including the grassroots infrastructure for community fire preparedness.
• We recognise the great work done by our Landcare volunteers. We value our natural environment including local camping, swimming and fishing spots. We want our kids to be able to keep enjoying our bush into the future. I will back Federal legislation that supports our natural environment and biodiversity.

Sam Carter (Greens)

As a Paralympian and advocate for people with disabilities, I’ve seen how government
decisions can impact the livelihoods of so many in our community, no matter who.

But for too long, Labor and the Liberals have prioritised corporate interests over the needs of ordinary people, leaving renters, marginalised groups, and people struggling with the cost of living behind.

To address the climate, housing crisis and cost-of-living pressures, we need bold, people-focused policies. We need leaders who will fight for fairness and equality.

This election, nothing changes unless your vote does. By voting Greens, you can create a future that puts people first.

TRAFFIC LIGHT VOTING GUIDE ASSESSMENT WARNING

The team at Vote Climate One may change our Traffic Light voting advice right up to shortly before election day. For instance it is very difficult to access ranking information from parties or candidates who have no public email, phone number or little internet profile. In these cases, we apply the precautionary principle with a Red Light ranking until further information and commitment to climate rescue comes to hand.

Please contact us if you have local information which could effect our rankings. Phone Rob 0n 0427 580 803

The major parties have let the Australian public down when it comes a serious policy commitment to action on the ecological and climate crisis. Consequently, we have assessed both the Labor party and the Coalition as Red Light parties. Nevertheless, in relation to our Traffic Light Voting guides, the Labor party has been ranked orange ahead of the Coalition which remains a stubborn Red Light proposition.

The House of Representitives

Labor is ranked Orange for the House of Reps. The opportunity for a Green Transition, sparked by the influence of a progressive cross bench holding the balance of power in a Labor minority government, is our bet bet for climate rescue.

The Senate

Likewise our senate Traffic Light Voting Guides also promote Labor ahead of the Coalition using an Orange Light status. This stategy will help discourage the worst senario for climate action which would result from a combative Coalition/right wing party majority in the senate.
