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 Angie Bell
The member asked whether the Prime Minister had provided a reference for Rhys Muldoon for his Australia Day ambassador role.
Background: The Shadow Minister for Youth asked if the Prime Minister had provided a reference for Rhys Muldoon.
Answer from Anthony Albanese
The Prime Minister stated that Mr Muldoon's comments were unacceptable and that he was unaware of them until they appeared in the media. He noted that Senator Dowling had taken immediate action regarding Mr Muldoon's role as an Australia Day ambassador since 2014.
Question from Angie Bell
The member asked if the Prime Minister's decision to grant $6 million to the Marrickville Golf Club increased the value of his nearby investment property, noting his undisclosed honorary membership.
Background: Reports suggested the Prime Minister owned an investment property near the Marrickville Golf Club, which received a $6 million government grant.
Answer from Anthony Albanese
The Prime Minister dismissed the question as a smear with false imputations. He did not directly address the property value question but instead referenced the opposition's election commitments.
Question from Angie Bell
The member asked the Prime Minister why he had declared his honorary membership of the Royal Sydney Golf Club but failed to declare his membership of the Marrickville Golf Club.
Background: The Prime Minister had declared an honorary membership of the Royal Sydney Golf Club but not the Marrickville Golf Club.
Answer from Anthony Albanese
The Prime Minister stated he was aware of the Royal Sydney membership and had declared it upon receiving a card, but he was unaware of the Marrickville membership. He explained that he received honorary memberships from various clubs over the years and declared those he knew about. He shifted focus to the opposition's election commitments, noting that none of their 1,000 projects were located in his electorate of Grayndler.
Question from Angie Bell
The member questioned whether the Minister felt pride in causing millions of Australians to face higher rental costs, citing her earlier remarks on capital gains tax and negative gearing.
Background: The Minister for Housing had previously expressed pride in tax reforms, which the opposition linked to rising rents.
Answer from Clare O'Neil
The Minister described the housing crisis as a result of 40 years of policy failures, noting 400 per cent house price growth over 25 years. She criticized the opposition for not raising Commonwealth Rent Assistance or addressing rental standards during their nine years in office. She argued that the government's policies were designed to help renters achieve homeownership and that the opposition's approach would create an unfair market.
Question from Angie Bell
The member asked if the Prime Minister accepted that his tax policies would increase the difficulty for young Australians to save for a house deposit.
Background: The member cited comments from the member for Sturt regarding changes to taxes affecting young people's ability to save for deposits.
Answer from Jim Chalmers
The Treasurer stated that the government takes caucus views seriously and that the member for Sturt was an effective local representative. He highlighted that 93,000 taxpayers in Sturt were receiving tax cuts and 80,000 would benefit from the Working Australians Tax Offset. He argued that the government was addressing housing market distortions that locked out young people, contrasting this with the opposition's approach which he claimed would maintain the status quo.
Question from Angie Bell
The member asked whether the government's housing tax policies were working as designed, given reports of plummeting auction clearance rates and collapsing demand.
Background: The Shadow Minister for Youth questioned the Minister for Housing about the impact of recent housing tax changes on auction clearance rates and demand.
Answer from Clare O'Neil
The minister defended the legislation, stating it delivered tax cuts for 13 million workers and levelled the playing field for first home buyers. She cited Treasury advice that house prices would continue to rise but at a rate approximately two percentage points slower than otherwise. She highlighted that the changes would enable 75,000 Australians to transition from renting to homeownership. She criticised the opposition for ignoring the housing crisis during their nine years in government.
Question from Angie Bell
The member asked how many community sporting clubs relying on trust donations would be negatively impacted by the new trust tax.
Background: The budget introduced a minimum 30 per cent tax on trusts, raising concerns for community sporting clubs.
Answer from Jim Chalmers
The Treasurer clarified that charitable trusts are exempt from the minimum tax, as are fixed trusts and other specific categories. He stated that final implementation details would be subject to consultation.
Question from Angie Bell
The member asked the Prime Minister why the budget was punishing a 39-year-old father who had been investing to buy a home, citing his concern that tax changes were a 'rug pull'.
Background: The Shadow Minister for Youth cited a constituent concerned about tax changes.
Answer from Anthony Albanese
The Prime Minister argued that the reforms helped people like the constituent aspire to homeownership. He cited developer Harry Triguboff noting that investors were pivoting to new properties due to the budget. He stated that first-home buyers would no longer compete against investors with multiple properties at auctions. He claimed the reforms allowed investors to build wealth while also contributing to national asset growth.
Question from Angie Bell
The member asked whether Labor would collaborate with the coalition to expedite approvals for Australian oil projects, such as the Taroom Trough, to enhance energy security.
Background: The Queensland government was fast-tracking oil drilling in the Taroom Trough.
Answer from Anthony Albanese
The Prime Minister stated that the coalition would not be involved as the Queensland LNP was the state government. He noted he worked constructively with the Queensland government and that proposals went through improved environmental laws to be processed faster and more efficiently.
Question from Angie Bell
The member asked when the minister would take action to ensure fuel gets to where it is needed, referencing the Queensland Premier's statement about the need for a national plan.
Background: The Shadow Minister for Youth asked the Minister for Climate Change and Energy when he would take action to ensure fuel gets to where it is needed, citing the Queensland Premier's call for a national plan.
Answer from Chris Bowen
The minister said the government had freed 757 million litres from the minimum stock obligation, provided it went to designated regions. He outlined distributions for Toowoomba, the Darling Downs, the Atherton Tablelands, Mareeba, Indigenous communities, Cape York, and farming areas near Cairns and Townsville. He highlighted that priority went to key fuel stops for long-distance transport and extra bulk supplies for Queensland households. He specifically noted sending fuel to Texas, Queensland, contrasting this with the opposition's previous plans.
Question from Angie Bell
The member asked the Prime Minister to accept responsibility for declining living standards and alleged out-of-control migration.
Background: The member claimed population growth of 1.9 million since Labor took office was pressuring housing and services.
Answer from Anthony Albanese
The Prime Minister stated that living standards had risen and that Australia had the quickest economic expansion among major advanced economies. He reiterated that Australia had lower unemployment and stronger employment growth than Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK, and the US. He emphasized the creation of 1.2 million jobs and higher participation rates.
Question from Angie Bell
The member asked the Minister for Resources whether she would listen to Western Australian Premier Roger Cook regarding the EPBC bills and critical minerals, or to her left-wing backbench.
Background: Western Australian Premier Roger Cook had urged ministers not to cave to the Labor left backbench on the EPBC bills. The question focused on whether the minister would listen to the Premier or her backbench regarding critical minerals.
Answer from Madeleine King
The minister stated that she and the Premier were aligned on critical minerals development. She defended the Labor backbench as working in the interests of the resources sector and net zero goals. She highlighted the importance of EPBC reforms for critical minerals projects and the framework agreement with the United States. She criticized the opposition for doing nothing to help the resources sector or the environment, accusing them of division and chaos.
Question from Angie Bell
The member asked how many older Australians had passed away while awaiting a home-care package from 13 May.
Background: The member asked about deaths among those waiting for home-care packages.
Answer from Sam Rae
The minister reiterated that the deferral was welcomed by the sector and quoted support from Silverchain and Ageing Australia. He stated that in the last financial year, 4,812 older Australians died while in care or waiting for care, a figure provided by the department to the Senate.
Question from Angie Bell
The member asked why the government has funded inner-city cycleways but provided less support for South Australia's response to the algal bloom, asking who should pay for the cost of inaction.
Background: South Australia is experiencing a significant algal bloom, with questions raised about government funding compared to other projects.
Answer from Anthony Albanese
The Prime Minister stated that he met with councils who thanked the government for its work. He attributed the algal bloom to climate change, specifically floodwaters from the Murray-Darling Basin carrying nutrients into warmer ocean waters. He asserted that every bit of funding requested by the South Australian government has been provided. He criticised the opposition for wavering on net zero targets and becoming more right-wing on climate change than the previous government.
