Immigration
Rikkie-Lee TyrrellOne Nation · sitting official record
As a state MLC she does not vote on federal migration law; recorded from her own words. In her February 2023 inaugural speech she explained her party's platform: 'When we say our policy is net zero immigration, many everyday Victorians assume that means none at all. No. It simply means that we wish to see that immigration numbers do not exceed the amount of those leaving Victoria. It is not about race or culture, it is about numbers. It is a resource policy.'

Abortion & reproductive policy
Georgie PurcellOther / minor party · sitting news report
Purcell (Animal Justice Party) is a vocal advocate for expanded abortion access. In a June 2022 Guardian opinion piece she argued nurses should be permitted to prescribe medical abortions, and in Parliament has spoken in favour of expanding abortion services in rural and regional Victoria, drawing on her own experience of difficulties accessing services and harassment before safe access zones. In October 2025 she co-authored, with Rachel Payne, a report calling for free medical and surgical abortion for all Victorians, expanded public-hospital provision, and extending medical abortion access from nine to twelve weeks.

As Attorney-General, Symes carried the Change or Suppression (Conversion) Practices Prohibition legislation, stating 'This bill does not outlaw prayer. It does not prevent health professionals from doing their job' and that the practices 'are deeply harmful and total quackery - they must be stamped out.' On the 2024 Lord's Prayer petition she said: 'There is no proposal to remove the Lord's Prayer from the Parliament. We have not been considering a proposal,' describing only 'minor conversations' about opportunities to 'modernise the start of the day'.

Opposed the Justice Legislation Amendment (Anti-vilification and Social Cohesion) Bill on free-speech grounds, voting NO at second and third reading (1-2 April 2025; AYES 22, NOES 17 both times). In debate she said 'The vague definition of vilification opens the door for potential misuse' and 'I will not be supporting this bill at this time in its current form.' In February 2026 she explained: 'I voted against that bill because it was contradictory, because it was restrictive to the freedom of speech we have enjoyed in this state since its establishment and because I ... listened to the will of my constituents, who overwhelmingly asked for that bill to be defeated in its form at that time.'

Voted for the Sustainable Forests (Timber) and Wildlife Amendment Bill 2013, an anti-protest bill covering both timber harvesting coupes and duck hunting (second reading 18 February 2014, Ayes 35, Noes 3, the three Greens opposing), and for clause 5 in committee (20 to 17). She was a teller for the noes against a motion to refer the bill to committee. In her speech she framed the bill as a public safety measure so that forestry operators and duck hunters could pursue lawful activities without disruption or intimidation, said twice that it did not remove anyone's right to protest and that she would not support any bill which purported to silence freedom of speech, and said the bill was 'not about entering the fray of the substantive merits of duck hunting or timber harvesting'. She described forestry as an important industry whose workers 'deserve to have their safety protected when they engage in their lawful commercial endeavours'.

Environment & water
Rikkie-Lee TyrrellOne Nation · sitting official record
Her defining issue is water for northern Victorian irrigators. She has repeatedly attacked federal Murray-Darling buybacks ('Without water, farmers will walk off the land'), and on 17 June 2026 carried a motion, agreed without division, for an investigation into reclassifying spillable carryover water, noting 'Eighty-two per cent of the water recovered by the Murray-Darling Basin plan has come from the southern basin' and suggesting 'investigating the viability of removing speculators from the system.' On drought, her June 2025 hardship-funding motion passed on the voices, and she has pressed for wider drought support. She opposed the Emergency Services and Volunteers Fund levy as 'an unjust cash grab,' citing VFF figures of an average 109 per cent cost increase for farmers. She has also raised environmental-flooding damage to old-growth black box trees and fish numbers in the Gunbower state forest.
