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

Joanna Wells (Greens)

I’m running because diverse communities across Australia need the Greens to push the major parties to do better – for everyone, not just for the big end of town. 

I’ve lived most of my life in Boothby and am active in my local community. At the last federal election, I rolled out the Climate Action Now campaign across Boothby, which helped to put action on climate on the agenda with the major parties. I know that many of you are disappointed that Labor has continued to approve new coal and gas projects. A minority government with the Greens playing a role in seats such as Boothby will mean stronger action on climate. 

I worked for years as a secondary teacher and now use these highly transferable skills across my campaigning and community work.  Listening, advocating, and building community are critically important parts of my everyday life, whether in paid or voluntary roles.

There is no room in Boothby for the politics of division. I am relentlessly optimistic about what we can achieve when we work together as a community and push the major parties to do better. Integrity in politics and intergenerational justice are key issues for me.

The Greens want to put an end to the big handouts to coal, oil and gas corporations, put dental and mental health into Medicare, guarantee free childcare and early childhood education for every family, and stop supermarket price gouging.

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.
