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.

Check out our how our team Federally assesses Candidates and Parties

Green Light Candidates

Phillip Arnatt (LCP)

Phillip qualifies as an Outstanding Green Light Candidate

Phil Arnatt is committed to ensuring fair representation and championing policies that prioritise both personal freedom and the well-being of the community. He is a passionate advocate for cannabis reform and is dedicated to promoting the cultivation of hemp by local farmers in the Albany area.

Phil envisions a vibrant industry producing a diverse range of products, including hemp textiles, hemp wood, hemp paper, hemp biofuel and hemp plastic, among many others. He also champions the right of individuals to grow cannabis at home, empowering communities and fostering sustainable practices that benefit both the environment and local economies.

LCP supports the 3Rs and endorses the Climate Rescue Accord

Giz Watson (Greens)

I’m a former WA State MP and have devoted my life to protecting WA’s environment, advocating for social justice, and working to create a peaceful and just world.

I’ve long been committed to action on the climate emergency, which continues to escalate while the major parties continue to fail in their responsibilities. The Greens are the only party calling for the urgent responses we need to prevent catastrophic and irreversible damage to the planet and people. 

In the South West, I see the damage that is happening to the environment, with a drying climate and less predictable weather patterns adversely affecting our natural ecosystems and farmlands. Maintaining the health of WA’s unique native forests and woodlands is absolutely vital in the fight against climate change. Many of our agricultural practices still need to be improved to be sustainable and productive in the long-term. 

This election we have a real opportunity to elect more Greens to Parliament to push the government further and faster on  climate and the environment. Similarly, we need urgent action on the serious crises impacting the people of O’Connor, such as the rising cost of living and acute housing shortages.

A better future is possible – together we can make it happen.

See you on the campaign trail!

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.
