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.
Abortion & reproductive policy news report
As Speaker of the House of Assembly did not vote on Sarah Game's June 2026 late-term abortion restriction bill, but shared on her social media after its defeat that 'tonight the South Australian Parliament voted for unchanged access to Abortion'; she had earlier been involved in the campaign to decriminalise abortion in South Australia in 2021.
Gender & LGBTQ+ policy news report
As Shadow Human Services Minister she was drafting legislation to outlaw LGBTIQ conversion therapy in SA (reported July 2020), proposing penalties of up to eight years' imprisonment.
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.
Drugs & law and order encyclopedia
