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

Riley Aickin (LCP)

Riley qualifies as an Outstanding Green Light Candidate

Riley Aickin is a dedicated advocate for sensible cannabis law reform and the full potential of cannabis across medical, recreational, and industrial sectors.

With a background in sustainability and recycling, Riley understands the challenges Australia faces in managing waste from clothing and building materials. He sees hemp as a game-changing, sustainable alternative that can support a circular economy and reduce environmental impact.

Riley believes cannabis law reform will give states the power to legalise cannabis, for both medical and recreational use, without conflicting Commonwealth regulations. Whether Australians choose to use cannabis or not, everyone stands to benefit from the job creation and tax revenue that legalisation would bring.

As a medical cannabis user, Riley has experienced firsthand the life-changing benefits it can provide. He also understands the stigma faced by everyday Australians simply trying to manage their health or unwind after a hard day’s work. It’s time for a fairer, more practical approach to cannabis in Australia.

LCP endorses the 3R’s and supports the Climate Rescue Accord

Payal Tiwari (Greens)

I’m a local candidate with the skills to take action. I’ve called Australia home for 33 years, having migrated with my family in 1991 and built a career as a leader in technology, transformation and family violence, breaking barriers as an Indian single mum in a male-dominated industry.

My experience spans management consulting, IT strategy, account management and implementation across a range of leading organisations, sectors and geographies. I’ve also contributed to significant policy reforms, including providing multicultural perspectives to the Frankston Specialist Family Violence Court. I want to bring this same drive to tackle the issues of affordable housing, cost-of-living pressures, better public infrastructure, and support for migrants and refugees.

I’m ready to represent our community and fight for solutions that ensure everyone can thrive in the southeast. Change won’t happen overnight, but the first step is voting for someone who will fight for it. 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.
