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

In his first speech, Rebello argued Australia "face[s] a population surge fuelled by a reckless immigration profile, one that no longer reflects the careful planning or national interest," and that "the desire to come to Australia, while admirable, should not be the sole qualification. It is the willingness to contribute to Australia that must be the true test." He warned poorly managed migration risks "rising social tensions, buckling infrastructure, divided communities," and that the current approach risks diminishing the cohesion that has long made Australia's multicultural society "a strength, not a strain."

Faith & religion official record

In his first speech on 30 July 2025, Rebello listed among the things he felt blessed by "the freedom to practise my faith freely". He claimed a faith of his own but did not name which tradition, and none is inferred here.

Economic nationalism own statement

In his first speech, Rebello said Australia should support the expansion of its domestic manufacturing sector in line with its strategic and comparative advantage, and stated he is a firm believer in diversifying import and export markets so the country does not rely on any single country. He also called for an environment that welcomes investment in the national interest.

Foreign policy & aid own statement

In his maiden speech, Rebello called for Australia to invest in "a strong, sovereign defence capability," to seize the strategic and diplomatic advantages of trusted allies and the Commonwealth, and to diversify import and export markets "so we don't rely on any one country" and avoid being "held ransom by adversaries."

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.
