What have they done lately?
In June 2026, Wood opposed the tax-reform bills, distinguishing his No vote at second reading on income-tax rates from his No vote at third reading on Treasury tax changes. His speech linked the first bill to reduced rental supply and the second to greater difficulty for young people buying or renting. On hate and extremism laws in January, he supported the bill while arguing it was rushed and might not cover private social-media groups adequately.

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.
