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.

Major ‘Moogy’ Sumner (Greens)

I’m excited to put my hand up to represent our country and community in Barker.

I became a Member of the Order of Australia in 2014 after dedicating my life to promoting Aboriginal health and welfare, and youth and cultural heritage. I am a Ngarrindjeri elder and an artist, performer and cultural ambassador. I formed the Tal-kin-jeri Dance Group almost 30 years ago and have performed around the world.

I’m passionate about people and planet – particularly saving the Murray and protecting the Great Australian Bight, while fighting to address inequality and for more Aboriginal representation in the federal parliament.

I strive to protect the environment and will work in Canberra for a more sustainable nation and caring community. By looking at things from a cultural perspective, I believe we can do more to care for people and country than we currently are.

I will fight the greed that has allowed our rivers to be drained and the Bight to be put at risk from big oil and gas companies. By educating our young people and investing in renewable energy, I know we can do what is right by our country and each other.

In 2023, I was proud to be elected to South Australia’s First Nations Voice to Parliament. 

The Greens want to tax the billionaires and big corporations and fund the things we should all care about: saving the Murray, pushing for World Heritage Protection for the Great Australian Bight and making life better for all Australians. 

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 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.
