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.
Immigration news report
Colleen Harkin says migration "is still double what we had when we were considered ourselves a successful immigration cohort" and "it is genuinely a con. Because what we keep getting told is that we need these immigrants to fill these jobs, but we’re not importing skilled immigrants".
Foreign policy & aid news report
Colleen Harkin says "the early and inappropriately early recognition of the State of Palestine" was "an insight into how the factions within the Labour Party think", and "Hamas is a terrorist organisation and there is nothing about Australia that should be recognising or feeling cosy with them".
Economy & tax news report
Colleen Harkin says "Victoria has some of the highest taxing scenario in the country, which just makes investments difficult and unpalatable."
Welfare & social services news report
Colleen Harkin says the "NDIS has kind of lost its original purpose entirely", has "grown to an unsustainable proportion", and "It has to be reconfigured."
Workplace & industrial relations news report
Colleen Harkin says new federal legislation "gives a carve out to be able to discriminate, to give contracts to union work", creating "preferential treatment to unions, which has the absolute likely risk of victorianizing Australia".
Voluntary assisted dying news report
Colleen Harkin says "I find the voluntary assisted dying thing very confronting" and "I change my mind about it all the time", adding that "Most people actually want the medical assistance."
Gender & LGBTQ+ policy news report
Asked about gender-inclusive language in schools, Colleen Harkin says "everybody wants to feel included, but definitionally, we are now confusing other children" who "are now being told that they can choose their gender".
Freedom of speech news report
Of the hate speech legislation, Colleen Harkin says "It criminalises opinion. It has the capacity for shutting down your political opponents. It penalises people when there’s actually no victim", and calls the law "such a basket case".
Drugs & law and order news report
Colleen Harkin says of doli incapax "it has to change", that youth offending is "a revolving door", and "They have to get serious about youth crime."
First Nations & treaty news report
Asked about "the state’s new indigenous entity", Colleen Harkin says it "shouldn’t exist at all" and "It is an attack on everything that we have, the rule of law that has provided us with all of our foundations."
Nuclear & uranium news report
Colleen Harkin says "I’d be a big supporter of nuclear" and "there are options there that we don’t take".
Integrity & anti-corruption news report
A former Institute of Public Affairs director of education who resigned from the Liberal Party in June 2026 and joined One Nation. Her resignation letter said 'I have not changed. The Party has,' and that she could not 'continue to support an organisation that has lost sight of its principles, its purpose and its responsibilities to its own members', citing 'Machiavellian factionalism, expediency and a lack of policy conviction'. As lead plaintiff in litigation over the Pesutto loan she said the defendants 'continue to waste further millions of Party funds in the court, endeavouring to defend the indefensible'. On the Victorian government's construction royal commission she said on 31 July 2026: 'The real issue will be what are the terms of reference? Does it really have any teeth or not?', and of Premier Ben Carroll, 'how has he stood there alongside those people all that time and never opened his mouth? So there's a real integrity issue there.'
Housing & planning news report
Colleen Harkin says "Victoria has treated housing as something to regulate, not something to build" and "What we need is we need to make housing faster to be able to build, to remove the regulation. We want to get government out of the way."

Transport & infrastructure news report
Colleen Harkin says "there’s been no business case for the suburban rail loop", that she does not "see that being a feasible project at the moment", and "So I’d hold off on it."

Colleen Harkin says there is "layer upon layer upon layer of misinformation, disinformation about this whole renewable scenario" and that "It doesn’t provide us national security, national affordability, reliability."
Environment & water news report
Colleen Harkin says "Net zero, of course it should be dropped", calling it "the greatest transfer of wealth from ordinary Australians to those who are recipients of government subsidies".
