You can learn about how to effectively use Traffic Light Voting Guides for the upcoming Federal election by following this link to our video and familiarising yourself with its instructions:

Here’s how you can make climate a compelling issue locally.

Hand out Traffic Light A5 How to Vote cards at polling booths. Phone or text 0427 580 803 to arrange for print ready artwork tailored for your electorate. You can then print the How to Vote card using your home printer or for larger numbers use the services of a commercial printer.

This is particularly effective to help add extra reach to Green Light independent campaigns and draw in swinging voters. Vote Climate One’s assessment of candidates has the elevated status of being fiercely independent.

Green Light Candidates

Tim Lavers (AJP)

Tim qualifies as an Outstanding Green Light candidate

The Animal Justice Party is a breath of fresh air in Australian politics. Our policies are built around the values of kindness, equality, rationality, and non-violence. We serve everyday people, not lobbyists and billionaires. We think about the future, not  just the next election cycle. Tim is a software engineer who has worked for startups, large corporations, and now a healthcare non-profit. Tim and his wife raised their three children in the beautiful Illawarra.

He is now taking his real-world experience into politics – trying to secure a better world for his children’s generation.

Our NSW MP, Emma Hurst, has delivered great results—banning some of the most cruel animal experiments, gaining rights for renters with pets, and leading the inquiry into hospital birth trauma. Now it’s time for a voice in federal parliament.

AJP supports the 3R’s and endorses the Climate Rescue Accord

Jess Whittaker (Greens)

I’m Jess Whittaker and a first time candidate for Cunningham. I’m excited to have a chance to represent the great and wonderful people of this electorate.

I’ve grown up in Bulli and I work here, while also juggling life with two wonderful children, a great husband, and struggling with the many cost of living difficulties that we experience every day.

Both of the main parties owe more to the large corporations and wealthy people in Australia and the prospects of them being able to change this dire situation is slim, very slim. Together we can do more.

Nothing will change unless your vote does.

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.
