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

John Barnes (Greens)

I have a deep history in Ballarat, growing up and raising my family here. I’m a former Mayor of Ballarat City Council, and Chairman of Central Highlands Water while being a strong community advocate.

Previous governments have failed future generations, offering only bandaid solutions for big, systemic problems. As an older Australian, I feel we are burdening them with an unaffordable housing market for rent or purchase, a tax system which raises more through HECS than it does from the Petroleum Resource Rent Tax, and a climate and environmental crisis that grows bigger by the day. I had it so easy by comparison.

In a wealthy country like ours, everyone should be able to afford the basics – a secure home, food, and access to world class health, education and a safe climate.

We can do it. We just have to make big corporations pay their fair share.

This election, you have a once in a generation opportunity. This election, don’t let the major parties take your vote for granted. 

CHANGES TO TRAFFIC LIGHT ASSESSMENT GUIDE WARNING

The team at Vote Climate One may in some cases change our Traffic Light voting advice right up to the day before election day. Here are some examples of the reasons for late changes.

• Sometimes it is very difficult to access ranking information from parties or candidates who are difficult to contact or have little internet profile. We apply the precautionary principle with a Red Light ranking until further information and commitment to climate rescue comes to hand.
• Aside from climate policy, dodgy preference deals which will have a negative effect on the election of Green Light candidates can demote a Green Light candidate or party to Orange. Conversely a Red Light candidate or party can be promoted to orange if it can be seen that a preference deal assists the election of Green Light candidates.

Please contact us if you have local information which could effect our rankings. Phone Rob 0n 0427 580 803
