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.

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

Andrew Murphy (LCP)

Andrew qualifies as an Outstanding Green Light Candidate

Andrew Murphy is a dedicated worker, a proud father and a passionate advocate for justice and harm minimisation. With over 20 years of experience in warehousing and logistics, he understands the value of hard work, safety and community responsibility. As a forklift driver, he has built his career on efficiency and precision—qualities he now brings to his political advocacy.

Andrew’s commitment to making a difference started early. His first protest was against the Iraq War in 2004 and today, he is fighting to end the failed war on drugs. He believes in policies that prioritise harm reduction, safety and personal freedoms, ensuring that communities are supported rather than punished.

Raised with the principle of leaving a place better than he found it, Andrew is now taking that philosophy to the national stage. As a candidate for Werriwa, he is standing for evidence-based drug policy reform, personal rights and a future where laws protect rather than harm the people they are meant to serve.

LCP supports the 3Rs and endorses the Climate Rescue Accord

Janet Castle (Greens)

Everyone should be able to afford the basics. But while you’re working harder than ever, 1 in 3 big corporations pay no tax.

We can’t keep voting for the same two parties and expecting a different result. Dutton will take us backwards and Labor is tinkering on the edges. And both major parties take millions in donations from the corporations ripping you off.
 
There is another choice. We can make billionaires and big corporations pay their fair share of tax to fund the things we all need.

I’ve worked extensively in the disability sector, with people who are ageing, and for 19 years supporting and advocating for people seeking asylum. I currently head up Bridge for Asylum Seekers, a not for profit that provides living allowances for otherwise destitute people seeking asylum.

Together, we can:

• Build public homes, and stop unlimited rent and mortgage hikes. We’ll pay for it by phasing out negative gearing and other tax breaks for wealthy investors. 
• Tax big corporations to pay for your education, wipe all student debt and boost funding to out public schools.
• Make it free to see a GP, dentist, nurse or psychologist at one of 1,000 new free healthcare clinics. 
• Stand up to Coles and Woolies by making it illegal for big corporations to charge excessive prices. 
• Stand up for action on climate. Since coming to office, Labor has approved 26 new coal and gas projects. With more Greens, we can stand up against the fossil fuel corporations and bring energy costs down. 

Together we can create a fairer and cleaner future for all of us.

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.
