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 Ellie Whiteaker
The senator asked what the milestone of signing agreements with all states and territories meant for children and families, and how the fund would help access quality early education. She also asked how the investment would make a practical difference and if there were any obstacles to addressing infrastructure challenges.
Background: The government signed the final Building Early Education Fund agreement with the Northern Territory.
Answer from Jess Walsh
The minister stated that the fund was investing $1 billion to build and expand early education centres in disadvantaged areas. The final agreement with the Northern Territory included $8.7 million for a new 60-place centre in Karama and another in Tennant Creek. Across Australia, 42 projects were delivering more than 2,500 additional places, with two-thirds in regional and rural communities. Many centres were co-located with schools to facilitate smooth transitions for children and convenience for parents. She criticized the Coalition for cutting disadvantaged children off from childcare and One Nation for opposing qualified educators and pay rises.
Question from Ellie Whiteaker
The senator asked what the latest wage data indicated about the economic security of young workers. She followed up by asking how the government is lifting wages for young people and what obstacles remain to fair pay.
Background: Recent wage data showed growth in earnings for young workers.
Answer from Jess Walsh
The minister reported that wages had risen by 3.2 per cent during the year and that the minimum wage had increased by more than $12,000 annually, reaching $1,000 a week. She highlighted the abolition of junior rates for workers aged 18 to 20 in retail, fast food, and pharmacy sectors, and the legislative protection of penalty rates. She cited a campaign by young workers from the SDA as an example of successful advocacy for fair pay. She identified the opposition parties as the primary obstacle, accusing them of deliberately keeping wages low and opposing protections for casual and gig workers.
Question from Ellie Whiteaker
The member asked how the government was cracking down on fraud and better protecting NDIS participants. She sought an explanation of why investments in fraud prevention were necessary and how the system was being secured for future generations.
Background: The member highlighted the importance of the NDIS being safe for participants and asked about government efforts to crack down on fraud.
Answer from Jenny McAllister
The minister stated that the government established the Fraud Fusion Taskforce and invested in the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission to combat fraud. She reported that the commission issued 111 banning orders in the last quarter, the highest ever recorded. Since the taskforce's establishment, more than 2,600 providers submitting incorrect claims have been disrupted, over 600 investigations launched, 27 individuals convicted, and $50 million in assets seized. The minister noted that $1.35 billion had been invested to stamp down on fraud, citing previous government failures where basic prevention controls were lacking, such as the inability to review claims submitted outside standard business hours.
Question from Ellie Whiteaker
The member asked what real change the new market access delivered for farmers, producers, and exporters, specifically for Western Australia and Queensland.
Background: The member referenced the landmark trade deal with the European Union, aimed at removing tariff barriers for Australian exporters.
Answer from Don Farrell
The minister estimated the agreement would be worth $10 billion in its first year, effectively doubling the number of Australian free trade agreements. He stated that tariffs on seafood, dairy, rice, nuts, honey, olive oil, fruit, and vegetables would be eliminated or reduced. Critical mineral tariffs would be cut to zero. For Western Australia, he highlighted benefits for minerals, wheat, barley, beef, and sheepmeat. For Queensland, he noted tariff eliminations on wheat, copper, seafood, and vegetables. He warned that protectionist arguments posed a risk to these benefits.
Question from Ellie Whiteaker
The senator asked the minister to outline why the government prioritised investment in women's economic security, particularly paid parental leave. She also asked how broader reforms regarding health, the gender pay gap, and wages were improving outcomes for women.
Background: The Paid Parental Leave scheme was set to reach 26 weeks of support.
Answer from Katy Gallagher
The minister noted that from 1 July, eligible families would access 26 weeks of leave, receiving nearly $30,000 including superannuation. She stated that parents would be approximately $15,692 better off than under previous arrangements. She highlighted improvements in women's health, including PBS listings for contraceptives and menopause treatments, and the opening of endometriosis clinics. She dismissed criticisms of the scheme as incorrect analysis.
Question from Ellie Whiteaker
The senator asked the minister to outline why the government's budget priorities included strengthening fuel security, easing cost-of-living pressures, and building a more productive economy. Supplementary questions asked how responsible budgeting would help fund essential services while strengthening the budget bottom line.
Background: Global conflicts were disrupting oil supplies and contributing to inflation, while the Treasurer had outlined budget focuses on fuel security, cost of living, and housing.
Answer from Penny Wong
The minister described the budget as ambitious and responsible, aimed at helping Australians through global economic uncertainty. She highlighted that the budget would include additional investment in fuel security, Medicare, and public hospitals, with $25 billion allocated to hospitals and $3 billion to aged care. She noted that the budget bottom line would be $44.9 billion stronger than forecast, aided by $64 billion in savings and reprioritizations, which would help pay down inherited debt.
Question from Ellie Whiteaker
The senator asked what the government was doing to protect regional communities from energy and supply chain shocks. She specifically asked about the importance of new Export Finance Australia powers for regional areas and actions to strengthen sovereign supply chain capability.
Background: Rising fuel and fertiliser prices were impacting regional communities and farmers.
Answer from Tim Ayres
The minister highlighted the halving of the fuel excise and the reduction of heavy vehicle road user charges to zero for three months. He explained that new EFA powers would de-risk additional fertiliser and fuel shipments, keeping markets flexible. He cited the government's intervention to support the Mount Isa copper smelter, which produces domestic fertiliser, as an example of strengthening sovereign capability through the Future Made in Australia agenda and gas reservation strategy.
Question from Ellie Whiteaker
The member asked what actions the government was taking to support Australians affected by the escalating conflict. She highlighted the economic volatility and security threats across the region.
Background: The conflict in the Middle East was escalating, involving more countries and endangering civilians. Iran's reprisal attacks were occurring at an unprecedented scale.
Answer from Penny Wong
The minister reported that three more flights had returned to Australia, bringing the total number of returned Australians to over 3,600 on 26 commercial flights. She stated that the security situation was deteriorating and urged Australians in the region to leave if safe, noting that commercial flights were the best departure method. She advised Australians not to travel to most of the Middle East and to follow Smartraveller advice, including avoiding missions in high-risk areas.
Question from Ellie Whiteaker
The member asked what the government had done to deliver high-quality health services through the National Health Reform Agreement.
Background: The Prime Minister secured a historic funding deal for hospitals and the NDIS.
Answer from Jenny McAllister
The minister highlighted $25 billion in additional funding for public hospitals, bringing Commonwealth funding to $219.6 billion by 2031. She mentioned securing the NDIS with annual cost increases targeted at five to six per cent and $2 billion for foundational supports. In response to supplementary questions, she cited 122 Medicare urgent care clinics with over two million visits, reducing pressure on emergency departments. She also noted 3,200 Medicare bulk-billing practices nationwide.
Question from Ellie Whiteaker
The member asked the minister to outline how the government was continuing to deliver for Australians by building on the economic and social foundations established in its first term. She specifically inquired about measures to help Australians earn more and keep more of their income, and about progress in delivering cheaper, reliable energy while reducing emissions.
Background: The question highlighted the government's first-term achievements in cost-of-living relief, Medicare, housing, and wages, asking how these foundations were being built upon.
Answer from Penny Wong
The minister listed several recent legislative achievements, including a 20 per cent reduction in student debt for over 512,000 students and apprentices, protection of penalty rates and overtime pay, and an extension of paid parental leave by two weeks. She highlighted investments in Medicare, including bulk-billing incentives and the expansion of urgent care clinics, and announced that PBS prescription costs would fall to $25 for general patients and $7.70 for concession card holders starting 1 January 2026. Regarding wages, she noted that the government was delivering income tax cuts and wage increases for aged-care workers, while contrasting this with the opposition's alleged support for low wages. On energy, she emphasised policy certainty and supply additions to ensure affordable electricity.
Question from Ellie Whiteaker
The senator asked the minister to outline the government's actions to deepen relationships with regional countries. She subsequently asked how the government is navigating international uncertainty through partnerships, specifically referencing the Papua New Guinea-Australia Mutual Defence Treaty and the recent ministerial forum. Finally, she asked how the government would keep acting for Australia's national interest in the Pacific.
Background: The government's efforts to rebuild relationships in the Indo-Pacific region after a decade of perceived neglect.
Answer from Penny Wong
The minister highlighted her visits to Pacific Islands Forum members and ASEAN countries, and the Prime Minister's upcoming visit to Malaysia. She announced two new investments: $175 million into IFM Investors' Asia-Pacific Debt Fund and US$50 million into a South-East Asian public-private partnership fund, adding to nearly $1 billion in existing investments. She noted that two-way trade with ASEAN increased by $6 billion between 2023 and 2024. Regarding Papua New Guinea, she described the Pukpuk Treaty as elevating the relationship to an alliance and highlighted the first ministerial forum as allies. She concluded by listing other breakthroughs, including the Pacific Policing Initiative, the Falepili Union with Tuvalu, and the Nauru-Australia Treaty.
Question from Ellie Whiteaker
The senator asked why policy certainty was essential for sending clear market signals to investors. She also inquired about the importance of honouring international climate commitments and the impact of abandoning them on the community.
Background: Senator Whiteaker asked about the importance of policy certainty for investors in the context of Australia's climate targets and international commitments.
Answer from Tim Ayres
The minister stated that private investment required confidence and certainty, which the government provided through its climate policies. He contrasted this with the previous government's lack of a rational approach, which led to disinvestment. He noted that international partners and investors watched Australia to see if it could be relied upon. The minister argued that abandoning commitments would weaken regional Australia and reduce investment and jobs.
Question from Ellie Whiteaker
The member asked how timely approvals from the minister's department support the goal of net zero by 2050. She also asked about the benefits of renewable rollout for Western Australia and the importance of policy certainty for business investment.
Background: The questioner referenced the government's announcement of expanded support for renewable energy projects and the need for timely environmental approvals.
Answer from Murray Watt
The minister announced a 25 per cent expansion of the Capacity Investment Scheme to underwrite 40 gigawatts of renewable energy by the end of the decade. He cited the speedy approval of the 90-megawatt Summerville Solar Farm and the Narrogin Wind Farm, expected to power 130,000 homes, as examples of effective approvals. The minister emphasised the need to reform environmental laws to make quick approvals the norm and criticised the coalition's internal divisions on net zero policy.
Question from Ellie Whiteaker
The senator asked how recent policy changes, including wage increases and energy rebates, would support Australians with cost-of-living pressures. She specifically inquired about measures supporting women in the economy and the government's ongoing delivery of these policies.
Background: A government senator asked about the impact of policies implemented on 1 July.
Answer from Katy Gallagher
The minister outlined measures including a 312 per cent rise in the minimum wage for over 2.9 million workers, a $150 energy bill rebate, and a 20 per cent cut in student debt. She noted that paid parental leave was rising to 24 weeks with superannuation contributions, helping women. She confirmed the government's ongoing efforts to deliver its agenda and tackle economic pressures since the election.
