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.

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.

Action on climate change

Now is the time for climate action. By taking advantage of Australia’s abundant renewable energy resources, we’ll create a bright future. My priorities are to:

• Reduce emissions by at least 60% by 2030, and 75% by 2035. I supported the Albanese government’s 2022 Climate Change Act- but it’s not enough. We need to move further, quickly, in order to prevent further global warming, environmental disasters and species extinction.
• Accelerate electrification and decarbonise our electricity supply.
• Speed up the uptake of electric vehicles, introduce fuel efficiency standards and strengthen emissions standards for transport and other sectors.
• Empower households to make the shift to clean energy.

Jackie Carter (Greens)

I’m committed to fighting for outcomes for everyday people, and I have a deep understanding of what our community needs. At the last federal election, Kooyong voted for a progressive change, and this election we can keep the major parties out and put our community first. I will fight for Kooyong’s values every day, and have a team of Greens behind me doing the same.

I’m proud to be part of a party that is 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 crises. 

If you want change, you have to vote 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.
