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

Kristie Lockhart (Greens)

I am a mother of three and a staunch environmental and animal welfare advocate. 

I am also a long-term health professional, having worked in pathology laboratories in a range of technical, clerical and management roles over the last 22 years across many different specialties, in both public and private sectors. I have an in-depth understanding of the industry and particularly, the challenges faced by front-line public healthcare workers, due to under-funding, staff shortages, fatigue, stress and burnout. 

The Greens will increase the funding to the public health system by 30 billion dollars, over the next decade. This will fund dental (and more) into Medicare, and make seeing the GP free. It will also provide more for public hospitals, easing wait times which we know are unsatisfactory. I know that my community in Bowman urgently need this.

The Greens always have, and always will, stand up for the protection of the environment. It is vital that more Greens are elected, in order to push for strong climate action. We know that we need to expand publicly owned renewable energy to bring power bills down, and continue to fund the innovation and deployment of clean technology.

We’re also fighting for renters and stressed mortgage holders, to cap rent increases, and deliver lower mortgages.

We will also fully fund public schools, and rebate families $800 per year, per school child, to lessen the burden of uniforms, shoes, stationery. 

By taxing billionaires and big corporations properly, we can afford these things. 

With more Greens winning seats this election, we can get better outcomes.

We can keep Dutton out and push Labor to go further on health, housing, climate and the environment. Let’s show the major parties that they are not doing enough and it’s time for change! 

Will you join me and vote for change?

TRAFFIC LIGHT VOTING GUIDE ASSESSMENT

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.
