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

Nicole Rowan (Greens)

I grew up in Mallee, on a sheep and wheat farm near Woomelang, and attended High School at Sea Lake. I love living in regional Victoria, and cherish being a part of a strong, rural community.

I’m a lawyer and I’ve worked for the Australian Tax office and the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission.

We’re in a housing crisis and regional Victoria is being left behind. Labor and the Coalition are both backing new coal and gas and worsening the climate crisis. Meanwhile, regional Victoria is experiencing more climate-related disasters, more often, including bushfires and floods. 

I’m proud to be part of a party that is fighting for no new coal and gas, publicly owned renewable energy, cheaper groceries, and a rent freeze. 

We want to make multi-national corporations pay their fair share of tax and fund things we all need, like dental and mental health into Medicare and government-built homes to rent and buy.

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

Residents in the electorate of Mallee know that they deserve more, and I am ready to demand it. If you want change, it’s time to change the way you 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.
