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.
Economy & tax own statement
Rebecca Thistleton writes that "The system taxes workers in full but discounts tax on wealth-building assets", and that "Reforming these taxes, and applying negative gearing to new homes, is fairer."
Workplace & industrial relations own statement
Rebecca Thistleton writes, on Early Childhood Educators' Day: "I will always back our ECE workers and their conditions."
Abortion & reproductive policy own statement
Rebecca Thistleton writes that "Women in regional and rural areas struggle to access abortions. We can and must do better."
Gender & LGBTQ+ policy own statement
Rebecca Thistleton writes: "don't underestimate the signal it sends to your queer colleagues & their families when you do get into the woke morning teas. It's a safety symbol."
Health own statement
Rebecca Thistleton says Armstrong Creek Town Centre is "the logical spot" for one of the 10 free dental clinics promised by Labor, and that "South Barwon needs free dental."
Education own statement
Rebecca Thistleton says "We need great public schools and to back our teachers", and that she has been talking to the Education Minister about how important it is to families that government "lock in the land & timelines for the future Mt Duneed High School."
Transport & infrastructure own statement
Rebecca Thistleton writes that, if Labor is re-elected, "We're going to build the extension from Baanip Blvd from the Surf Coast Hwy to Barwon Heads Road", which "will improve travel times".
