Recorded vote: in the House of Assembly division on the second reading of the End-of-Life Choices (Voluntary Assisted Dying) Bill 2020 on 4 December 2020, Ella Haddad (listed as 'Ms Haddad') voted Aye, in favour. The bill passed 17 Ayes to 7 Noes.
Gender & LGBTQ+ policy verified
As Labor's then shadow attorney-general, Haddad opposed the federal Religious Freedom draft bills, saying the changes "would unnecessarily risk hard-won anti-discrimination rights and, if passed, would expose vulnerable Australians to increased discrimination with no recourse." (Stated position.)
Religious freedom verified
In a 2020 submission on the federal Religious Freedom Bills, Haddad argued Tasmania's Anti-Discrimination Act 'provides a model for the nation,' warning the federal draft would 'unnecessarily risk hard-won anti-discrimination rights,' and noted the Tasmanian Act already allows faith-based organisations including schools, hospitals and charities to select employees on the basis of religion. Stated position.
Drugs & law and order verified
Stated position: As Labor justice spokeswoman, Haddad indicated in November 2023 that Labor would not oppose the government's mandatory minimum sentencing bill for child sex offences, saying 'It's too traumatising to continue to bring this big issue back again and again, every election, with no regard to the effect on victim-survivors,' citing a wish to stop the issue being used politically. Labor's general policy has been opposition to mandatory sentencing.
