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

Melissa Stevens (Greens)

I’ve lived in Lilley for over 18 years. I grew up here on the Northside of Brisbane and returned after finishing university. For most of the last 20 years I’ve worked in our local medical research industry, on treatments for illnesses such as sepsis, heart disease and cancer. 

I’m a proud union member and I support local and global campaigns for workers’ rights and social justice.I believe in protecting our precious natural habitats and calling for real action on the climate crisis. 

However, it is the issues of violence against women and the ever-growing housing and homelessness crisis that are most important to me, and witnessing the failure of the political establishment to make any tangible change to them is what has compelled me to step up and run for election again. 

Across our community, people are forced to live in cars and tents and families are struggling to put food on the table. Right now, hard working people are paying too much for the basics, while 1 in 3 big corporations pay no tax. Both Labor and the LNP have had opportunities to take action on the housing crisis and cost of living,  but what they’re willing to do barely touches the sides.

Let’s get real. We can’t keep voting for the same two parties and expect a different result. When they are considering legislation, they have to run it past their corporate donors for permission. These same corporate donors sponsor both of these parties, hedging their bets so they get their way, no matter which one is in government. The Greens don’t accept donations from the big end of town and that means we fight for you – not mega-rich corporations.

The Greens will make billionaires and big corporations pay their fair share of tax to fund the things we all need. We’ll put dental and mental health into Medicare, make visits to the GP free, take strong action on the climate crisis, make childcare free for every family and bring the cost of groceries down by making supermarket price gouging illegal. 

We can have a society that puts people before profits and ensures we all have a healthy planet for future generations. A vote for the Greens will push Labor to act and keep the LNP out. 

If you want change, vote for it. This time, vote 1 Greens.

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.
