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

Ben Hammond (Greens)

Growing up in Doonside, I’ve seen firsthand the struggles our community faces—from the rising cost of living to housing insecurity and underfunded public services. I’m standing as the Greens Candidate for McMahon because the major parties have taken us for granted, and I have the experience and qualifications to be an effective advocate for our community.

Housing is a human right, not a privilege. While Labor and Liberal accept millions from wealthy donors and corporate interests, the Greens NSW refuse to be bought. I will put people before profits, working alongside our community to deliver real solutions—like rent controls, affordable housing, and investment in public infrastructure that benefits everyone. 

I am a proud Union member, and I will stand against the Liberals’ relentless attacks on penalty rates and workers’ rights.

Labor has failed people with disabilities by gutting the NDIS. I will fight to restore and expand it, ensuring people get the support they deserve.

The Greens believe education should empower, not burden. That’s why we will erase student debt, make TAFE and university free, and reinvest in our public schools. We will also restore incentives for GPs to Bulk Bill, while strengthening and expanding Medicare to include dental and mental health.

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.
