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

Phil Scott (Independent)

Phil is a Community Independents Project candidate

Proud Territorian, local dad and community advocate

Since moving to Darwin with my wife and our three children, I have become an active member of the local community, playing and coaching local sport, sitting on the school council and holding board roles with local organisations. I have a strong sense of fairness and equality and have actively campaigned for cheaper power bills, protection of our precious water, and better opportunities for local families.

Experienced leader, skilled in project and stakeholder management

After graduating in sports and social science, I built my career leading projects and programs in community development and services. I have worked with government, First Nations communities, social enterprises, and grassroots movements to secure vital funding and lead teams to build capacity and empower communities. This experience has helped me to understand what makes strong communities tick. It has also shown me the power of locals working together to achieve great things.

Committed to our local community

In recent years I’ve been having kitchen table conversations and listening to local businesses, families and community, and hearing what matters most to locals. I share many of these concerns and frustrations. I have the drive to get things done and am passionate about improving our society.

I’m here to continue to listen, to lead with integrity, and to work alongside our community to build a thriving Territory—one with safer communities, stronger local businesses, secure jobs and housing for everyone, and a future our kids deserve. This is the future we can create together.

Jonathan Parry (Greens)

The Territory is home to incredible, vibrant communities and a brilliant natural environment. We need to protect what makes the Territory so special.

While Territorians face housing insecurity, cost of living pressures, and the impacts of the climate crisis, the major parties are more focused on holding on to power than on serving everyday people. 

Tinkering around the edges isn’t good enough.

The Greens are offering real action on these issues because we listen to the people, not vested interests.

In a wealthy country like ours we should be able to meet everyone’s fundamental needs. 

The Greens want to make sure that big corporations and billionaires pay their fair share so we can look after everyone.

This election for the first time we can elect a Greens MP as the voice of Palmerston and Darwin in Canberra, fighting to secure the future of the Territory.

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 Representatives

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 strategy will help discourage the worst scenario for climate action which would result from a combative Coalition/right wing party majority in the senate.
