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.
Religious freedom verified
Webb authored a ten-point Legislative Council motion (passed 9 to 5 in October 2019) defending Tasmania's Anti-Discrimination Act against the proposed federal Religious Discrimination Bill, warning the federal bill 'risks making our state law unworkable and will leave a range of vulnerable Tasmanians less protected.' Stated position and a recorded motion she moved.
Drugs & law and order verified
Stated position: Webb advocates raising Tasmania's minimum age of criminal responsibility from 10 to at least 14, telling the Legislative Council (motion debated October 2021) 'Children do not belong in the criminal justice system. To have them there is not smart justice; it is not compassionate justice,' and calling for a 'contemporary, nation-leading therapeutic approach to youth justice.'
Gambling & gaming reform verified
Voted AGAINST the Gaming Control Amendment (Future Gaming Market) Bill 2021 in the Tasmanian Legislative Council (passed 8-5). A long-time anti-pokies campaigner, Webb delivered a marathon (~6.5 hour) speech opposing the industry-favoured framework, arguing it ignored consumer protection and harm minimisation, and advocating $1 bet limits, 6-second spin speeds, lower jackpots and higher return-to-player rates. She said: 'We've got a lot of doubt as to the ultimate impact of this Bill still remaining for us.'
Animal welfare verified

Named alongside Greens MLC Cassy O'Connor and three Liberal MLCs as supporters when the government deferred the upper-house vote in late 2025. Supports ending greyhound racing.
