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.

Economic nationalism official record
Joined the House Standing Committee on Primary Industries on 24 June 2026 and has questioned witnesses at its critical minerals inquiry, pressing for speed rather than protection. On 2 July 2026: 'one of the critical issues here, beyond critical minerals, is critical time - urgency to accelerate the process', noting project timelines are 'nearly intergenerational'. On 25 June 2026 he asked regulators 'what are the heavy links in the chain that need addressing to be able to accelerate it', and twice pressed on international benchmarking: 'Somewhere else in the modern developed world, someone's doing this better than us.'

Environment & water official record
Water is his dominant theme. In his first question to the House on 4 June 2026 he framed it as a defence issue, asking the Defence Minister whether he considered 'water security a core defence capability for this nation'. On 23 June 2026 he asked whether irrigated capacity 'post the Murray-Darling buybacks' is 'strong enough to secure Australia's food supply'. On 29 June 2026, describing himself as 'the local member representing the vast majority of the southern Murray-Darling Basin', he asked the government to have the Commonwealth Environmental Water Holder urgently assess whether 2026 environmental objectives had been met and, if so, that 'all surplus water be immediately returned to the temporary market' for the spring crop; the minister rejected the premise.
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.
