What have they done lately?

On 11 March, he spoke in support of the mobile coverage bill and its amendments while questioning whether its coverage requirement would deliver meaningful change. On 30 March, his speeches on the export-finance strategic-reserve bill were recorded as unclear because they addressed procedure rather than whether the bill should pass.

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.
