Local government scorecards by the Common Climate Network

Oliver Neighbourly Lead from One Tree Point

The Common Climate Network, an organisation focusing on positive messages about climate change action in New Zealand, have published local government scorecards, to help voters identify what candidates’ views are on climate change, and hopefully improve transparency and voter turnout in local government elections. The grades are helpful to compare different candidates within a council, but they suggest that we download the original answers and read them for ourselves to be fully informed.
Here is the scorecard for WDC candidates, and the original answers (in Excel spreadsheet format) can be found here.
Together with Policy Local and The Voting Climate we now have three online sources to learn about candidates' policies and views. Unfortunately not every candidate is present on each platform, so the picture is somewhat incomplete.
