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

Sonya Semmens (Greens)

I’ve dedicated my life to fighting for our community – for a future where no one is left behind and we all have a quality affordable home, world class public services, and a safe climate.

I was born and raised in Dandenong, mum was a nurse and Dad was a teacher. They worked hard, in the service of others, and showed me that the most worthwhile achievements come through struggle. Now, I have four kids, in a big, beautiful, blended family and the struggle is real.

Our community can lead the rest of the country. But right now, our Labor representative doesn’t vote in line with our values in the Federal Parliament.

I’m a renter, a dog owner and a proud member of the community. I have faced insecure housing and I’ve done it tough. In a wealthy country like ours, no one should be homeless, no one should be living in poverty, and everyone should be able to live a decent life.

We need change. Right now our community has a chance to lead the nation.

Labor says one thing and does another. They’re more concerned with managing perceptions than people’s problems.

As someone who cares so deeply about our community, it’s devastating to see how many people are struggling to make ends meet. Instead of tackling the problems people face, Labor is backing their donors to make massive profits.

This seat is a contest between Labor and the Greens. The Liberals can’t win.

Our community deserves someone who will fight for them, not big corporations.

I will fight for renters and stressed mortgage holders. I’ll fight to make big corporations pay their fair share of tax, and use it to fund world class health, education and public services. We can take on the big supermarkets and end price gouging and profiteering. And, we can stop pouring more fuel on the climate fire, by stopping new coal and gas.

We have plans to build the biggest people-powered campaign Macnamara has ever seen. Labor is funded by big corporations but we are backed by people like you.

If you want to see change, the first step is voting for someone who will fight for you and the things you believe in.

I hope I can count on your vote.

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.
