His strongly socially conservative and nationalist politics are further right than his voting record, which includes several civil-liberties and populist process votes alongside non-Liberal blocs. Topic strips exclude accountability and process votes; read small counts loosely.

What have they done lately?

Recent activity covered late June and early July 2026. In a 30 June speech on the nurse-prescribing bill, he opposed expanded nurse prescribing, citing safeguards, care fragmentation and professional liability. On 1 July, he voted Aye on a Senate amendment to the same bill, then No on adding approved podiatrists as subsidised-medicine prescribers; that question carried 31–21 and was recorded against his party. He voted No on the workplace bill, which carried 31–25, and Aye on two procedural questions to suspend business rules and proceed with the NDIS 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.
