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

Bin (Alyssa) Liu (AJP)

Alyssa qualifies as an Outstanding Green Light Candidate

Alyssa is a dedicated animal advocate, healthcare professional, and long-time vegan committed to creating a kinder, more compassionate world. With a background in medicine and a master’s degree from the UK, she works as an acupuncturist in Adelaide, promoting holistic health and ethical living.

Originally from China, Alyssa has lived and worked across several continents, bringing a global perspective to local issues. She has published research in leading international medical journals and stood as a federal candidate in Hindmarsh in 2016.

Alyssa has been vegan for over 10 years and uses her platform to raise awareness about animal rights, sustainability, and plant-based living. Her deep compassion for animals, combined with her professional and political experience, drives her mission to be a strong voice for the voiceless in Parliament.

AJP supports the 3Rs and endorses the Climate Rescue Accord

John Photakis (Greens)

I’m a disability support worker and community organiser. I’m running because people are exhausted, struggling to live with the cost of living, climate, and housing crises. Meanwhile, billionaires and multinational corporations make record profits.

I’ve lived and grown up in Adelaide’s south. I love our natural landscapes, local eateries, and community groups. I’m deeply committed to representing Greens values whether that be in the workplace, at education institutions, or out in the community. I’ve worked in a commercial kitchen, an engineering firm, and now a disability support worker and volunteer in the community.

I have a passion to represent people. I was elected to student council at Flinders University, participated in Student Voice and TAFE SA, chair of my local community forum for five years, and I’ve run as a candidate in local, state, and federal elections.

Greens want to raise all Centrelink payments above the poverty line, put dental into Medicare, and make sure you can see the doctor for free, We will make supermarket price gouging illegal to make food cheaper, and stop the big banks price gouging on interest rates to make mortgages more affordable.

We can’t keep voting for the same two parties and expecting them to change course. Change won’t happen overnight, but it starts with voting for someone who will fight for you.

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.
