Electorates A-Z – VIC Election 2022
Your vote for climate in the Victorian election will make all the difference.
Why the Victorian state election matters
State governments have enormous power over decisions that affect the climate.
The Victorian government might look ok from a distance, but up close it has:
- Made electric vehicles more expensive with the country’s only tax on driving an EV
- Approved new gas drilling near the Twelve Apostles on the Great Ocean Road
- Broken an election promise to protect old growth forests from logging
During the recent Federal Election, we prepared climate emergency voting guides for 151 electorates and eight senate tickets. We are now empowering Victorians to elect a majority of members in both houses of parliament who will act urgently on the climate crisis.
Vote Climate One provided the means for Australians to elect pro-climate members and defeat sitting members who, by party affiliation or demonstrated voting record, have shown themselves to be the opponents of effective action on climate.
Your climate vote can help to hold the two major parties to account. The recent rise of community independents and the corresponding demise of support for the two major parties is a hopeful sign. The influence and wisdom of these independent representatives has the capacity to transform our democracy.
We will provide explicit and uncomplicated voting advice to promote action on climate for every Victorian electorate.
We are providing activist groups and independent candidates who are prioritising decisive government action on climate, with Traffic Light Voting System templates and printed material which can be circulated to the public in marginal electorates.
We are disseminating voting advice widely across digital platforms and media.

Meet the people
We are a group of people who have had enough of inaction on climate change. People from all walks of life have realised that we cannot wait for political parties to do what is so obviously needed to address the climate emergency and take advantage of opportunities arising from clean energy.

Activist
Climate change denial and lack of action on global warming have deeply concerned me for at least twenty-five years. To my dismay, during that period, emissions have only continued to increase. I have devoted most of my time and energy working in activism for the last 10-years to reverse this trend.
I have convened VOTE CLIMATE ONE and the Traffic Light Voting Guide to help ordinary Australian voters to use the preferential voting system to create governments who will view the crisis of global warming as an existential threat. To me it feels like the elections leading up to the end of this decade are our last chance to change the path of history.

I’m an 82 year old evolutionary biologist (PhD Harvard, 1973) and engineering knowledge management systems analyst and designer until my retirement in mid 2007. Combining the two major threads of my career, I spent a good 14 years through 2014 exploring the coevolution of humans and our technologies.
We need to treat the climate emergency as a global war that will we are losing unless we can focus our efforts on the only task that matters – reversing global warming. The Vote Climate One campaign is a way to achieve this necessary goal. Losing the war to stop and reverse warming equals human extinction.
