How to vote for your values - WePlanet Australia Federal Election Scorecard

An election scorecard scoring policies of Australian Labor, Liberal-national party and the Australian Greens

Australia is heading to the polls — we know you're busy but want to vote for your values, so we've done the analysis to save you time.

Federal elections can shape the future of our country, and the world, well beyond the next three-year parliamentary term. The clean energy transition, reforming our food system, and protecting and restoring our unique biodiversity are all long-term projects that can outlive any single government.

That’s why we’ve put together a scorecard to show where the political parties stand on energy, food systems and climate action. We’ve also done a deeper analysis of the policies and public statements of the Australian Labor Party, the Liberal-National Coalition, and the Greens so you can vote armed with the facts.

The next government must build on the progress of previous governments and make the reforms needed to build a better future — faster, braver, and guided by science. Because Australians are already living through the consequences: Higher costs for power and insurance, longer bushfire seasons, record-breaking floods, and dangerous heatwaves.

We’re out of time for delay. We need leadership that will build on past progress, put evidence and the country before politics, and lay the foundation for future prosperity.

The choice is ours. Let’s make it count.
