Each entry is that person's own stated view, with its sources.
The badge says what kind of source backs it — official record, own statement, news report or
encyclopedia — which describes the evidence, not how much we believe it. Nothing is totalled or
ranked; recorded votes are counted only to point to the member's record, where each is listed.

Native forest logging
Dylan WightLabor · sitting official record
Voted aye on 30 May 2024 on an amendment moved during the Legislative Assembly's consideration of the Sustainable Forests (Timber) Repeal Bill 2024, which repealed the Sustainable Forests (Timber) Act 2004 following the cessation of native forest logging on 1 January 2024. The question was 'That the words proposed to be omitted stand part of the question' (Legislative Assembly, 30 May 2024; Ayes 53, Noes 24; agreed to): an aye vote kept the words the amendment proposed to omit. It was a vote on the amendment, not on the bill.
