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

Brandan Holt (Greens)

I am a biotechnologist, allied healthcare worker in cancer treatment and research, and a healthcare/disability advocate. 

Through my work over the past 7 years, I’ve supported many people having treatment for cancer. Bearing witness to these treatment journeys, I see the impact that our strained healthcare system has on regular folks in their most challenging times. Not only do we need to protect Medicare, we need to expand it.

We must safeguard free access to these treatments, and introduce guaranteed free GP visits so that everyone can have proper consultations, diagnosis, treatment and care without being burdened by hefty bills at the end of their appointment. 

As a scientist and community volunteer, I see the importance of climate action. The 2022 floods in South East Queensland affected so much of our community, with more than 50% of the electorate’s suburbs affected by flooding. Storms and flooding are becoming more common, and our summer seasons are hotter than ever before. We need strong, serious climate action to protect our loved ones, our beautiful wildlife and environment, and our homes. 

I grew up in regional Australia, experiencing first hand some of the challenges faced by many young families. My father has been living with a disability since I was very little and my mother is his carer, so I understand the struggles of people who are on the pension and on Centrelink.

Everyday people are working harder and struggling to get by. Every dollar is stretched to its limit. Grocery prices have skyrocketed, rents are increasing and mortgage holders are struggling to make their payments and put food on the table. Parents are struggling to afford their back to school supplies at the beginning of the year and the costs of sending their children to school seem to only be getting bigger.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

In a wealthy country like Australia, nobody should be left behind. The Greens want to raise all pension and Centrelink payments above the poverty line, and put dental and mental health into Medicare. We will bring down the cost of groceries by making supermarket price gouging illegal, and make mortgages more affordable by regulating the big banks. We will make state schools genuinely free by funding and resourcing them properly, so every child can access a good education. 

Everyone deserves a fair go, but Labor and Liberals only listen to billionaires, banks and big corporations. The Greens are the only party listening to everyday people. We can’t be bought, so we won’t sell out.

A better future is possible – but we have to make it happen together. 

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.
