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.
Welfare & social services own statement
Rachel Halse says "Labor will always protect our public aged care beds" after speaking with a resident "about positive ageing and the role of Victoria's public sector aged care".
Workplace & industrial relations own statement
Rachel Halse says parents have been "working from home to manage the juggle", that "the Coalition teamed up with One Nation to block Labor’s work-from-home laws", and "As a mum, I know how much flexibility matters. I’ll keep fighting for working people."
Drugs & law and order own statement
Rachel Halse says she recognises "the need for more security where people feel unsafe, shopping centres, train stations", but that "has to go hand in hand with properly resourcing where trained staff make the real difference, like our hospitals".
Housing & planning own statement
Rachel Halse says "Over 140 reforms" are "making renting easier, cheaper and fairer", that "The Liberal One Nation coalition think the reforms have gone too far", and "We know a safe, affordable home is the bare minimum, and that's what we'll keep fighting for".
Health news report
On her campaign page, Halse — a nurse — says "As a nurse, mum and local, I know how much it matters to have safe, high-quality care close to home. That's why I'm proud that Labor is improving nurse-to-patient ratios at Maroondah Hospital."
Education own statement
Rachel Halse says Mullauna College "is receiving $17.6 million for a new Stage 2 STEM Centre" and "Our kids deserve facilities that help them learn to the best of their ability."
Energy own statement
Rachel Halse says "Labor is helping households move off gas to efficient electric appliances that can cost less to run", describing it as "Cleaner energy. Lower bills."
