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

Chloe Bond (AJP)

Chloe is an Outstanding Green Light Candidate

Chloe is a passionate and dynamic lawyer, writer, and advocate living in the Yarra Ranges. She proudly stands as your Animal Justice Party candidate for Casey in the Federal Election.

As a Victims of Crime lawyer, Chloe has dedicated her adult life to providing a voice for those who are unable to use their own. As a self-proclaimed loud-mouth, she will never be quiet while victims, whether human or animal, are suffering.

With a vision of a more ethical, equitable future for Victoria, Chloe is a proponent of the Animal Justice Party’s ‘Veticare’ proposal, which will provide affordable vet care to low-income earners as well as transform wildlife care for the better. She is also passionate about enforcing tougher penalties for animal cruelty.

Chloe spends her spare time playing guitar in various bands, writing a series of children’s books titled “The Adventures of Bono the Bunny”, and hanging with her young daughter and their horses, dogs, chickens and ducks.

The AJP endorses the 3Rs and the Climate Rescue Accord

Climate Change

Today the people of Casey are living with the impacts of climate change. We’ve been hit hard by more intense and more frequent storms, floods and bushfires, putting our homes and lives at risk and sending our insurance premiums through the roof.

Instead of taking action to protect us, the previous Liberal government wasted a decade playing politics on climate change, and now the current Labor government has continued approving large-scale coal and gas projects with permits to operate beyond 2050.

I’ve advocated for practical solutions to complex problems, including on climate, where I have supported community groups to invest locally in solar panels and EV charging stations, led an innovative residential energy home upgrade program for people with chronic illnesses, invested $100million in waste management infrastructure to improve recycling and supported mobilisation of Victoria’s Container Deposit Scheme.

Climate Change is an economic policy, the skills and jobs for our kids and grandkids to work in. We need to accelerate solutions that deliver jobs and prosperity for Casey.

I will work hard to advocate for sensible solutions that are good for us, good for the economy and good for the environment.

Merran Blair (Greens)

I am a local health professional and university lecturer, ready to step up and fight for our community.

I was born and raised in Emerald, and am proud to once again call it my home.

So many in our community are disconnected and distrustful of politics because our leaders are not making decisions that help us.

Major weather events are wreaking havoc in our communities and homes, and we’re beginning to feel that no season is safe from the climate emergency. Voters here know that no new coal and gas is the way to a safer future.

The financial stress felt by people in Casey cannot be overstated. Almost half of our community are mortgage holders, with soaring repayments making it harder to put food on the table. 

I am ready to step up and fight for our community. If you want change, vote for it.

TRAFFIC LIGHT VOTING GUIDE ASSESSMENT WARNINGTRAFFIC 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.
