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

Paula Creen (Greens)

I was born and schooled in Mackay, and I’ve been back living here for the past 21 years. I’ve clocked up 12 years of towing people in boats back to safety with Volunteer Marine Rescue Mackay, and did 5 years as an active member of SES Mackay. 

I’m an active member of Mackay Conservation Group and Whitsunday Conservation Council, and an avid litter-picker. I’ve worked in the local building industry as a Building Designer and Drafter for 27 years. 

I have served on the committees and boards of a variety of community organisations to support people living with a disability and uphold their fundamental human rights in our region.

I want our region to thrive, but there are shops that have been vacant for over 15 years, since the first bust of our local coal-dependent economy. The number of locals without a home or who can’t afford basic necessities is heart breaking. 

If we want things to change, we have to do things differently. We need big corporations and billionaires to pay their fair share in tax so we can use that money to provide all the things that we need to live a good life: affordable housing, free childcare and genuinely free public education and healthcare. 

Nothing changes unless your vote does.

The Greens will take on the billionaires and big corporations that are ripping us off. We don’t take corporate donations like Labor and the LNP – we can’t be bought, and we won’t sell out. We’ll fight for you.

I want to see my community thrive again. Together, we can make it happen.

Will you join me?

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.
