What have they done lately?
In late June 2026, Witty supported the aviation consumer-protection bill in a speech, citing enforceable passenger standards, an independent complaints process, and clearer refund and assistance rights. Four days later, the pack records her No vote on the listed automatic-compensation and passenger-standards question, defeated 47-86. She also supported the illicit-tobacco bill on 22 June, linking stronger enforcement and proceeds-of-crime powers to public health, community safety and honest businesses.
On 14 May, she voted No on the listed Senate-scrutiny question under the unfair-trading-practices bill, defeated 40-95. The recent record therefore combines supportive speeches on bills with No votes on particular recorded questions.

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.
