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

Chris Evans (Greens)

I grew up in Mackay and now work as a draftsperson and estimator in the manufacturing industry. On top of that, I volunteer with a native plant club and a conservation group. Through these experiences, I’ve seen first hand how closely our environment, our climate, and our economy are linked. Our environment is under pressure, and with a changing climate, we’re all at risk—both people and nature.

A healthy society also needs basics like affordable housing, accessible healthcare, and fair food prices. Right now, Townsville is facing huge challenges—housing is in short supply, with vacancy rates below 1% since 2020, and people are struggling with skyrocketing grocery bills and other costs of living.

As a regional Queenslander, I see that our political system hasn’t been working for Townsville. Labor and the LNP are too focused on the interests of big corporations, leaving our city’s needs unheard.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. With your support, we can create real positive change!

The Greens have a plan to freeze and cap rent increases, build more public housing, and stop tax breaks for wealthy property investors. These changes will help make housing more affordable and fair, giving everyone the chance to live with dignity in their own homes.

I’m also committed to pushing for dental and mental health care to be included in Medicare, and making visits to the GP free. The Greens have a plan to bring the cost of your weekly grocery shop down by making price gouging illegal. We will advocate for raising Centrelink payments and the pension, and clearing student HECS debt and make lifelong learning free.

By making billionaires and big corporations pay their fair share of tax, we can fund these solutions to the cost of living crisis and take real action on the climate emergency.

But I can’t do it alone. The Greens don’t take money from big corporations, which means I need your help. 

Together, we can make a difference. 

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.
