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.

Hersey (Member for Katherine) criticises bail laws as too lenient, saying it 'does not pass the pub test for these youth to be bailed repeatedly' and blaming Labor for watering down bail and raising the age of criminal responsibility; she ties youth crime to truancy and calls for reinstating truancy officers. This is a stated position.
Education news report
