Our region (North Qld) covers three electorates: Herbert, Dawson and Kennedy. Below is a traffic light guide to the candidates running for the House of Representatives in each of these electorates, with traffic light colours indicating their level of commitment to mitigating climate change if elected. All information below is sourced from the wonderful people at Vote Climate One, and more information about their methods is available on their website: https://voteclimateone.org.au/

WHAT THE COLOURS MEAN:

Green Light Candidates
Our rigorous assessment has scored green light candidates above all others on ecological and climate policy. 

Orange Light Candidates
Orange candidates have some question marks over their policy, preferences, or party position on climate. 

Red Light Candidates
Our assessment process identified these candidates or their party affiliation as a very dangerous choice if we want action on global warming.
