What do they focus on?
His nine tracked speeches cover cost-of-living pressure, migration, and workplace law. He opposed Treasury Laws Amendment (More Cost of Living Relief) because he said it offered too little cost-of-living relief, while supporting Building and Construction Industry (Restoring Integrity and Reducing Building Costs) to restore law and order in construction and reduce building costs. He also opposed Constitution Alteration (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice) 2023, saying the proposed constitutional Voice was divisive and uncertain.
His 165 tracked votes across 74 bills cover a wider range of parliamentary business. These include workplace bargaining in Fair Work Legislation Amendment (Secure Jobs, Better Pay), climate and industrial policy in Future Made in Australia, and migration removal rules in Migration Amendment (Removal and Other Measures).

About these numbers
Based on 766 tracked bills from the 47th and 48th Parliaments, current to 6 July 2026. This is a sample of parliamentary activity, not the complete record.
Career markers come from dated public records. Voting figures use division lists only. For party members, the left-to-right marker begins at the party position. It moves only when the member votes against that party and on the same side as a neighbouring party; other cross-party combinations do not affect it. Independents and minor-party members are placed by their votes in divisions where the Greens and the Coalition took opposite sides. If this position differs from a member’s broader public politics, a note appears below the strip.
