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.

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

Alex Dyson (Independent)

I grew up here and proudly got my education in Warrnambool. I got my start in community radio locally before establishing my broadcasting career at Triple J. Now, in addition to radio, I also operate a small hospitality business.

I am running as an independent to get a better deal for southwest Victoria. I’m here to fight for what our community needs, not do what a party says.

Voting the same way gets the same outcome and in Wannon we’ve been overlooked for too long. If you’re ready to get a better deal, then I’m ready to be your representative.

Your priorities are my platform. Across Wannon the key issues I hear from voters are:

• help with the cost of living
• fair funding for Wannon
• action on our changing climate
• improving our infrastructure
• access to local healthcare and childcare
• addressing the housing crisis
• equality, respect & safety for women
• stamping out corruption in politics

Alex is part of the Community Independents Project

Kate Gazzard (Greens)

I’m a paediatric emergency doctor, previous Greens councillor, mum to two young boys, and a climate activist. I live on beautiful Wadawurrung land on the Surf Coast.

As a councillor I helped the Surf Coast community fight to protect the environment and improve social justice, including opposing oil and gas exploration off our coastline, working to protect our wetlands and waterways and pushing for more affordable housing.

I’m committed to fighting for outcomes for everyday people, and I have a deep understanding of what our community needs. I will fight for Wannon’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 no new coal and gas and publicly owned renewable energy, cheaper groceries and a rent freeze.

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.
