Sourced positions

A verified position is the member's own stated view or vote, supported by the listed sources. This page records public statements and conduct only — see methodology.

Abortion & reproductive policy verified

As a member of the NSW Legislative Assembly, voted in favour of the Reproductive Health Care Reform Bill 2019 (which became the Abortion Law Reform Act 2019, decriminalising abortion in NSW) at both the second reading (8 Aug 2019) and the third reading (final passage, 8 Aug 2019), on a conscience vote.

Voluntary assisted dying verified

Jenny Leong voted in favour of (Ayes) the Voluntary Assisted Dying Bill 2021 at its third reading in the Legislative Assembly on 26 November 2021 (Assembly third reading, which passed 52 votes to 32). The Act was a conscience vote and became the Voluntary Assisted Dying Act 2022 (NSW).

Gender & LGBTQ+ policy verified

Greens MP for Newtown who supported LGBTIQ equality but criticised the scaled-back Equality Legislation Amendment (LGBTIQA+) Bill 2024, saying the reduced bill 'leaves the queer community vulnerable.'

Religious freedom verified

Leong (Greens MP) dissented from the parliamentary committee report that endorsed Mark Latham's Anti-Discrimination Amendment (Religious Freedoms and Equality) Bill, and with Alex Greenwich wrote to the Attorney-General urging him to disregard the report. She said 'there is a need to protect people from being discriminated against on the basis of their religious beliefs, but that is not the same as enshrining protections for people to engage in whole scale discrimination against women and the LGBTIQ+ community under the guise of religious freedoms.'

Freedom of speech verified

Voted against the second and third readings of that bill in the Legislative Assembly (30-31 March 2022). Both divisions were declared without a count because fewer than the required number of members stood, so the record names only the four members in the minority rather than publishing an ayes list.
