His rural-conservative, former Nationals politics coexist with support for Indigenous institutions and government transparency, while civil-liberties objections produce unusual alliances that make his voting profile look more centrist than his overall politics. Topic strips exclude accountability and process votes; read small counts loosely.
What have they done lately?
Recent activity includes an opposition speech on the NDIS reform bill on 27 May 2026, arguing the changes could withdraw vital support from people with disabilities. On 28 May, he opposed the parliamentary departments appropriation bill, saying budget choices failed regional communities. On 29 June, he strongly supported the local industry preference bill, which would direct Commonwealth procurement towards Australian manufacturers. On 1 July, he voted Aye on several specific NDIS amendment questions and No on a separate safeguards question; those votes do not by themselves establish a position on the whole bill.

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.
