Sourced positions
Each position is the member's own stated view or vote, supported by the listed sources. The badge says what kind of source backs it — official record (Hansard, a parliament, a government or an electoral commission), own statement (their own site or their party's), news report (journalism or a third-party organisation) or encyclopedia. That is a statement about the evidence, not about how much we believe it. This page records public statements and conduct only — see methodology.

- ✓Voluntary Assisted Dying Bill 2023Lets an adult with an advanced, progressive condition expected to cause their death, who is suffering intolerably and has decision-making capacity, choose voluntary assisted dying. Unlike other Australian schemes, it sets no time frame within which death must be expected. The person must have lived in the ACT for the last 12 months, or show a substantial connection to it; a disability or mental illness alone is not an eligible condition.5 Jun 2024 ↗

Drugs & law and order news report
As Opposition Leader, Lee stated the Canberra Liberals 'remain strongly opposed' to the drug decriminalisation laws, called them 'bad laws', and committed that if elected in October 2024 the party would repeal them. She separately said she supported territory rights and did not back the federal Coalition's attempt to overturn the ACT laws. (Stated position.)
Votes are shown as the official record lists them — Hansard federally and in New South Wales; Votes and Proceedings, Minutes of the Proceedings and Hansard in Victoria; the Record of Proceedings in Queensland; the Votes and Proceedings and Minutes of Proceedings in Western Australia; the Votes and Proceedings (House of Assembly) and Hansard (Legislative Council) in South Australia; the Votes and Proceedings of both chambers in Tasmania. "Did not vote" means the member held the seat that day and is on neither list — the record says who was in the chamber, not why, so it is never an abstention. Western Australia’s record prints no pairs, so a member paired there shows as did not vote. Nothing is shown for a presiding officer who by law gives only a casting vote (the Speaker and the President in South Australia, the President in Tasmania), nor for the member presiding at a Tasmanian division, which Tasmania’s journals record. Which bills sit under which issue is an editorial choice, made bill by bill with a reason read from the second-reading speech. A bill decided by an earlier parliament (Queensland’s 2018 abortion law reform, for one) is shown with that parliament named, read from the official record of the day. For Queensland and the federal parliament “did not vote” there means the member held a seat that day, as their service is recorded; for the other earlier parliaments the record of who held a seat could not be read, so only the printed Aye, No and paired votes are shown.
