The marker starts at their party’s position and shifts only for floor-crossings towards a neighbouring party. No topic strip is shown because their economic, social and environment votes followed the party line.

What have they done lately?

From late May through 1 July 2026, Watson-Brown opposed the NDIS changes, saying they would cut support; she then voted Aye on recorded amendment questions, most defeated, and No on one safeguards proposal that carried 101–7. She supported tax-reform bills in the House while seeking scrutiny and warning about loopholes and ministerial powers. She also opposed the 2026 migration measures and, through a sponsored amendment, called on the government to introduce a 25 per cent gas-export tax. Her speech on doubling ACCC penalties supported the bill in the House but said it would not stop fuel price gouging.

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.
