Her pragmatic support for education, consumer and anti-scams measures pulls her votes left, despite more conservative positions on migration and national symbols. Topic strips exclude accountability and process votes; read small counts loosely.

What have they done lately?

Recent activity has centered on the NDIS, migration powers, fuel prices and local industry. On the NDIS reform bill, she opposed the bill in its current form and supported amendments on culturally accessible assessments, consultation, plan reviews and limits on funding cuts; each was defeated. On the 2026 migration measures, she opposed ministerial powers to suspend travel rights and supported amendments to narrow those powers and protect affected people; both were defeated. She supported fuel-excise relief while calling it short-term, and urged passage of her local-content procurement bill, which would require a 30 per cent threshold for specified projects.

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.
