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.

Freedom of speech official record
Voted to agree to the Legislative Council's amendment deleting 'or recklessly' from the new obstruction offence in the Summary Offences (Obstruction of Public Places) Amendment Bill 2023, which amended the obstruction offence in the Summary Offences Act 1953, narrowing it to intentional conduct (House of Assembly, in committee, 31 May 2023; Ayes 23, Noes 11). This division was on the Council's amendment, not on the bill's passage.

- ✓Local Government (Elections) (Periodic Elections) Amendment BillMoves South Australia's council elections from November 2026 to April 2027, with voting closing on 7 April 2027, and then to November 2031 and every four years after. Councillors stay in office until the 2027 elections, anything already done for the November 2026 elections is void, and voters enrolled after 1 January 2026 stay on the roll. The government brought it in after the Acting Electoral Commissioner advised a delay following problems at the March 2026 state election, which are under independent review.16 Jun 2026 ↗
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.
