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.

Rhonda Garad (Greens)

I’ve proudly called Dandenong home for 30 years, raising my four children in this wonderful community. I’m an academic at Monash University and a Councillor for Greater Dandenong. I have a proven track record of getting things done and I’ll work hard to achieve the outcomes that matter to you.

If you’re worried about the cost of rent, mortgages or food, you’re not alone. I understand the challenges of paying bills, running a small business, and providing for your family in our community right now. 

I’m sick of watching our community being ripped off by big corporations making massive profits. Unlike the major parties, the Greens don’t take corporate donations. I’m committed to fighting for outcomes for everyday people.

We can’t keep voting for the same two parties and expecting a different result.

The Greens are fighting for cheaper groceries, a rent freeze, to stop the interest rate increases and deliver low rate mortgages.

We want to make big corporations pay their fair share of tax and fund things we all need, like dental and mental health into Medicare and make sure you can see the GP for free.

In a wealthy country like ours, everyone should be able to afford the basics and governments should actually solve the problems we face – the housing, cost of living and climate crisis. 

This election, don’t let the major parties take your vote for granted. Nothing changes, if nothing changes. 

If you want change, you have to 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.
