Read these with care
- The median is the middle member: half did more, half did less. It is less affected by a few very active members than the average.
- Ministers answer questions rather than ask them, and the presiding officers rarely vote, so their patterns differ.
- Government backbenchers are often given arranged "Dorothy Dixer" questions, which raises their question counts.
- Votes only record ayes and noes, so a missed vote cannot be told apart from a pair (an agreed absence).
- Counts cover only what is on this site, and do not measure electorate or committee work. New members have less history.
Question Time
Question from Alex Hawke
The member commended the minister's swift action and offered opposition assistance in tackling extremists.
Background: The Shadow Minister for Industry and Innovation commented on the previous answer regarding neo-Nazi protests.
Answer from Tony Burke (Minister for Home Affairs)
The minister did not provide a substantive answer, as the exchange was primarily a comment from the opposition member acknowledging the government's action.
Question from Alex Hawke
The member asked if the Attorney-General was aware of whether Daniel Andrews had complied with the Foreign Influence Transparency Scheme and to report on his compliance status.
Background: Former premier Daniel Andrews attended a CCP military parade.
Answer from Michelle Rowland
The Attorney-General stated that the answer was the same as the Prime Minister's: all individuals must obey the law, including the FITS register.
Question from Alex Hawke
The member asked why the government had misled Australians by promising a 1 July start date if the legislation did not allow for it.
Background: The government had promised 83,000 packages by 1 July but delayed the rollout to 1 November.
Answer from Sam Rae
The minister explained that the implementation of the new Aged Care Act was originally scheduled for 1 July. However, based on feedback from older people and the sector, the government decided to defer implementation to 1 November to ensure a smooth transition. He reiterated that 83,000 additional packages would be delivered in the first 12 months of the Support at Home program from November.
Question from Alex Hawke
The member asked the Prime Minister to table the 5,324 answers and explain if recognizing Palestine affected the likelihood of meeting President Trump.
Background: The opposition member referenced the Prime Minister's comment about giving '5,324 answers' regarding a meeting with the US President.
Answer from Anthony Albanese
The Prime Minister quoted the opposition leader's past comments on Palestinian statehood to criticize the question's tone. He stated that Australia continued to engage constructively with the United States, noting the Deputy Prime Minister was currently in the US meeting counterparts. He mentioned having three constructive discussions with President Trump. He emphasized that Australia's international engagement was bipartisan and focused on protecting national interests and sovereignty.
Question from Alex Hawke
The member asked the Prime Minister what instructions the government had given to the CFMEU administrator regarding the union's lawless conduct.
Background: The Shadow Minister for Industry cited reports of CFMEU officials receiving kickbacks and threatening the Queensland parliament.
Answer from Anthony Albanese
The Prime Minister stated that the government had acted against corruption in the CFMEU construction branch, removing officials and shutting down illegal activities. He emphasized that criminal conduct should be subject to criminal penalties and criticized the previous government for failing to act on similar issues. He affirmed the importance of trade unions for workers' rights while condemning criminal behavior.
