What do they focus on?

The speech slice is narrow: his single tracked speech concerned Constitution Alteration (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice) 2023, a proposed constitutional Voice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. He said he would oppose it because he considered the change risky, divisive and permanent.

His 279 tracked votes across 114 bills cover workplace rules through Fair Work Legislation Amendment (Closing Loopholes), environmental regulation through Nature Positive (Environment Protection Australia), and migration removals through Migration Amendment (Removal and Other Measures). Other votes addressed small-business tax write-offs in Treasury Laws Amendment (Support for Small Business and Charities and Other Measures), and Senate changes to a housing fund in Housing Australia Future Fund.

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.
