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.

Immigration own statement

Willcox backs the Coalition's values-based migration plan, saying "Since Labor took office, the migration program has lacked direction: numbers have soared while standards have plummeted" and that "Living in Australia is a privilege, not a right: those who come here must respect our laws, share our values, and contribute to our nation." He supports reducing immigration numbers, raising standards, and making the Australian Values Statement binding for all visa holders.

As Shadow Assistant Minister for Manufacturing and Sovereign Capability, Willcox said it is vital to drive the manufacturing industry forward, become more self-reliant and strengthen Australia's ability to 'stand on our own two feet as a nation', and that he would fight for policies that boost innovation, create long-term employment and restore confidence in Australia's industry.

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.
