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

Deb Leonard (Independent)

Deb qualifies as an Outstanding Green Light Candidate

Closer to the election, I will consider and share all feedback received by people in the Monash community to determine my election policies. 

In the meantime, I promise you this: 

• I will show up and listen
• I will be a leader
• I will act with integrity,  transparency and common sense 
• I will answer all constituent inquiries to the best of my ability
• I will make sure constituents are able to give me their feedback, and they are aware of the channels to do this 
• I will hold regular in person and online meetings and events with local residents to talk with them about issues that are important to them.
• I will not let politics, vested interest or personal agenda guide my behaviour as your representative. 
• I have your back. 

This is your chance to elect someone who makes decisions in collaboration with you, the community, rather than being dictated to by party bosses or influenced by large corporate donors. Make sure you subscribe to our newsletter for updates on policy announcements.

Deb is part of the Community Independents Project

Terence Steele (Greens)

I’m a semi-retired teacher from Kardella South who is ready to inspire change within our local community.

I’ve owned a small patch of land with my wife Linda for over 20 years and have family ties to the engineering and railway industries of South Gippsland.

The beautiful region that we call home is under threat from climate inaction by our major political parties. I became aware of the devastating effects as an avid gardener and recognise that to affect real change, I needed to get involved.

In a wealthy country like ours, we should have world-class public health, education, and affordable housing. I joined the movement for a fairer future so my children and grandchildren can live in a better world.

I’m ready to step up for Monash and fight for what matters. If you want change, vote 1 for 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.
