This Saturday 23 March, it's time for NSW to choose: do we want to dig up our state, burn more coal and gas polluting our air, water, land and climate? Or do we want to power our state with clean energy, and protect forests and farmland, for a future with clean air, clean water and a safe climate?
After eight years of Liberal-National government in NSW, they still have no real climate plan. On their watch, carbon pollution has increased, land clearing has increased, new coal mines are being planned. We deserve better!
We've put together scorecards rating the candidates for the electorates of Coffs Harbour and Oxley (the small ballot paper) on five key climate policy areas - see below.
If you'd like advice on how to vote in the upper house (big ballot paper), check out this info from the Forest and Climate Alliance.

The electorate of Coffs Harbour runs from Red Rock in the north, to Sawtell and Bonville in the south, and west to the Orara Valley. It's been a safe National party seat, but now, with long-term MP Andrew Fraser resigning, we have an opportunity to vote in a new candidate who will work for climate action! Be sure to vote and vote wisely - your preferences will matter!
.The NSW electorate of Oxley, stretches from Repton, Bellingen, Dorrigo, to include all of Nambucca Shire, Kempsey Shire and down to the western Hastings valley.
Coffs Coast Climate Action Group is not aligned with any political party; we do not endorse any candidates; we do tell anyone how to vote. We seek to engage with everyone, across the political spectrum, to work towards stronger climate policies.
The above scorecards aim to give a general indication of candidates positions on key climate policy areas, based on their comments at our Climate Candidates Forum on 5 March 2019 (Coffs Harbour) and 11 March (Oxley), as well as other information provided by the candidates or their parties websites.
Sun = good policies, ahead of the pack!
Peeky sun/cloud = some positive policies, but not strong enough
Thundercloud = boo! bad policies or no commitments.
If you'd like more info on candidates policies, we recommend contacting them yourself. They need to hear from their community that climate action matters!
