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

Xavier Menta (LCP)

Xavier Menta is a proud son of the west, born and raised in the community he now seeks to represent. A loud, passionate and dedicated cannabis advocate, he is running to push for fairer laws, greater personal freedom and a more compassionate approach to policy.

With deep ties to the Gorton electorate, Xavier has spent five years coaching grassroots sports, strengthening his connection to the people and understanding both the challenges and strengths of the local community. His commitment extends beyond cannabis reform, he is also a strong advocate for better public transport, including much-needed improvements to bus services in the west.

Xavier has witnessed firsthand the harm caused by prohibition and the urgent need for reform. Legalising cannabis isn’t just about personal choice, it’s about justice, economic opportunity and sustainability. A regulated cannabis industry could create over 100,000 jobs, build a multi-billion-dollar economy and help reduce carbon emissions, all while freeing up police and court resources to focus on real crime.

Throughout his campaign, Xavier looks forward to meeting as many people as possible and having open, honest conversations about cannabis, policy and the future of Gorton. He is ready to stand up for the community and fight for a future built on fairness, opportunity and common sense.

Thuc Bao Huynh Greens

I’m living in the west and was born and raised here. I’m passionate about our diverse multicultural community and I want to empower people to live their best lives and contribute to their communities.

Labor is taking the West for granted. They’re out of touch with what our community needs and cares about. We’re ready for better.

As your Greens candidate for Gorton, I know how much we are struggling. Rents and mortgages are soaring, grocery prices are out of control and the major parties are doing nothing about it. 

Both the major parties take millions of dollars in donations from big corporations and put their corporate mates before you. The Greens don’t and we’re committed to fighting for you.

 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, government-built homes to rent and buy, cheaper mortgages, 50 cent public transport fares, a rent freeze and a cap on grocery prices. 

In a wealthy country like ours, everyone should be able to afford the basics and governments should actually solve the problems we face.

The electorate of Gorton knows they deserve more, and I am ready to demand it. If you want change, it’s time to vote for it.

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.
