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.

Getting Things Done
As your Curtin Independent MP, I’m proud to have helped deliver results for our community.
- Made multiple improvements to climate and nature legislation which resulted in a better Climate Change Bill, Safeguard Mechanism, Vehicle Emissions Standards and Stage 2 Nature Positive Laws
- Created the Curtin Pathway to Net Zero Report outlining what we need from Government and individuals to decarbonise our community
I believe we need urgent action to protect our planet from the worst effects of climate change.
In Australia we are seeing the catastrophic impact of climate change through droughts, rising sea levels, bushfires, floods and other extreme weather events.
For many years the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has been warning the world of projected increases in temperature. The Climate Change Performance Index ranks Australia last out of 60 countries on policy to address climate change. We need to listen to the science and experts, and act now.
Climate change also has a significant impact on health, particularly for our most vulnerable. Significant climate events and extreme weather increase the likelihood of worsening air quality and the spread of infectious disease and have an immediate and long-term impact on the availability and distribution of food.
Making significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions will not only help Australia to avoid the worst effects of climate change, but it will also safeguard our health, economic prosperity and national security for this and future generations.

Listen to my speeches relating to climate change action.
Kitty Hemsley (Greens)
I have lived in Curtin for many years and love our community. I spend my weekends at the local farmers market and with Friends of Galup to help revitalise Galup/Lake Monger through our efforts in weeding, planting and rubbish collection.
The two key issues that led me to becoming a candidate were the gutting of the NDIS and Australia’s weak response to the genocide in Gaza.
I work in the disability sector as a speech pathologist. Everyday, I see how my clients and their families are struggling to put food on the table and keep a roof over their heads, all while dealing with an NDIS system that seems designed to strip people of their dignity and remove vital supports.
As a healthcare worker, I feel a humanitarian duty to help those in need. I cannot sit idly by while our government is not only silent, but complicit in an active genocide in Gaza.
Seeing everything that is happening in the world, it is easy to let ourselves fall into despair – I feel the grief and the fear. I use those feelings to fuel my actions, to drive me to fight for everyone around me.
Join me in fighting for a fairer world.
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.
