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 Fatima Payman
The senator asked what commitments the government would make at COP31 to connect climate action with women's welfare. In supplementary questions, she asked if the government would commit to a gender-transformative climate finance framework and whether it would close the gap in per capita climate finance compared to the UK and Germany.
Background: ActionAid advocates raised concerns about the disproportionate impact of climate change on women.
Answer from Tim Ayres
The minister acknowledged the disproportionate impact of climate change on women and regional security. He stated the government is developing its approach to climate negotiations in the national interest, focusing on security and competitive advantage in energy. He did not provide specific commitments on finance frameworks or closing the per capita gap, instead highlighting global clean energy investment and the role of renewables in saving industrial jobs like Tomago Aluminium.
Question from Fatima Payman
The member asked what work had been done consulting stakeholders on the fair work court proposal. She also asked if the government was open to allowing unions to initiate proceedings on behalf of members and when legislation would be introduced.
Background: The government announced it would establish a fair work court to resolve workplace disputes, including wage theft, following a Senate inquiry.
Answer from Murray Watt
The minister stated that the government is seeking input regarding the structure and main characteristics of the planned tribunal to enhance dispute resolution for vulnerable workers. He noted that no decision had yet been made specifically on incorporating union standing, but it would be part of the consultation. He expressed confidence that Minister Rishworth would progress the legislation quickly, highlighting that low-paid workers are currently shut out of the legal system. He criticized opposition parties for previously voting against criminalizing wage theft.
Question from Fatima Payman
The member asked if it remained the case that no referrals for wage theft had been made to the Federal Police or Commonwealth DPP, despite the team having $49 million allocated over four years. She later asked what else the government was doing to ensure workers are paid.
Background: A review of wage theft laws was underway, and it was revealed that the Fair Work Ombudsman team investigating wage theft had not referred any matters to police or the DPP.
Answer from Murray Watt
The minister stated he would attempt to provide specific information on referrals later. He emphasized that the Labor government had criminalised wage theft, reversing previous laws that did not allow for criminal penalties against employers. He noted that the Liberal, National, and One Nation parties had voted against these laws. In response to supplements, he highlighted other measures including increases to the minimum wage and the introduction of same job, same pay laws, asserting that the government was focused on restoring balance in workplace relations.
Question from Fatima Payman
The member asked why the government had abandoned the AI advisory board after a 15-month recruitment process and discarded work on a standalone AI act. She also asked how many times the minister had met with AI companies like OpenAI and Anthropic since taking office.
Background: Reports emerged of AI-generated misinformation involving public figures, and the government abandoned an AI advisory body.
Answer from Tim Ayres
The minister stated that the government's approach was outlined in the national artificial intelligence plan, focusing on economic advantage and establishing an AI safety institute with $29.9 million in funding. He argued that existing laws on workplace safety, consumer protection, privacy, and copyright were sufficient for regulation. Regarding meetings with AI companies, he declined to provide specific numbers, stating that his office met regularly with industry and that the implication of undue influence was offensive.
Question from Fatima Payman
The member asked whether the government had agreed to share Australians' biometric information with the US government and whether negotiations were underway.
Background: Reports indicated the government could be discussing a stronger border security alliance with the US that might include exchanging biometric information.
Answer from Murray Watt
The minister confirmed that the Department of Home Affairs does not share biometric data of Australian citizens applying for US visas with the United States. He stated that the government had not entered into any agreements concerning an enhanced border security partnership. He noted that the requirement for such data sharing was introduced by the US in 2022 for visa waiver program countries. He declined to table any agreements as none had been made.
Question from Fatima Payman
The member asked why the government had implemented a scheme that she argued saddled buyers with larger mortgages. She followed up by asking if the government believed this was a good deal given rising prices. Finally, she asked why the government had not released Treasury modelling on the scheme as ordered.
Background: The member asked why the government's five per cent deposit scheme forced first-home buyers to choose between higher interest costs or missing out on homeownership as prices rose.
Answer from Tim Ayres
The minister defended the scheme as a life-changing intervention that had helped 220,000 Australians access the housing market with a lower deposit. He argued it provided opportunities for young people to enter the market and accrue capital gains. Regarding the modelling, he stated the government had produced 3,995 pages of documents in response to orders, including briefing notes and emails, and asserted that the government had complied with more document production orders than any previous administration.
Question from Fatima Payman
The senator asked whether the government would condemn the US directive to collect migrant crime data.
Background: The Trump administration instructed US embassies to collect data on migrant crime statistics.
Answer from Penny Wong
The minister stated that the government makes decisions based on what is best for Australia and reaffirmed its support for a pluralist, multicultural nation. She did not explicitly condemn the US directive, instead emphasizing that half of Australians are either born overseas or have a parent born overseas. In response to supplementary questions, she maintained that the government defends multiculturalism and refused to be drawn into a direct condemnation, expressing personal offense at the suggestion that the government only defends multiculturalism when convenient.
Question from Fatima Payman
The member asked what funding the federal government had set aside for shared facilities at Geraldton port to support green iron investment in Western Australia.
Background: The member noted that while $2.4 billion was allocated to Whyalla, Western Australia's magnetite resources were not receiving similar federal support, risking jobs to Middle Eastern investment.
Answer from Tim Ayres
The minister stated that the government was pursuing a 'Future Made in Australia' agenda to secure iron production and move up the value chain. He mentioned the $1 billion Green Iron Investment Fund and confirmed that the Western Australian Premier was in Canberra making representations. He assured that a joint approach with the state government would be developed to support future iron production and protect the mining industry from competitive disadvantages.
Question from Fatima Payman
The member asked what the government was doing to protect learner drivers and whether it would contemplate requiring dash cams in driving school vehicles.
Background: An ABC report exposed sexual assaults by driving instructors, raising concerns about the safety of learner drivers.
Answer from Malarndirri McCarthy
The minister commended the bravery of those who came forward. She stated that driving instructor accreditation and disciplinary processes are handled by state and territory regulators, who can suspend or cancel licenses. Criminal matters should be reported to police. In response to calls for national reform, she highlighted national actions to prevent sexual harassment in workplaces, including the Respect@Work recommendations and the Fair Work Act amendments. She did not commit to a national standards agency for driving instructors.
Question from Fatima Payman
The senator asked why no funds had been allocated to projects in Western Australia despite the commitment to net zero. She also asked what the government was doing to alleviate red tape causing delays, noting that the Yindjibarndi Energy Corporation did not expect funding until late 2027, and why Western Australia was lagging behind New South Wales and Victoria.
Background: Reports indicated that $3 billion allocated for energy transition projects in Western Australia under the Rewiring the Nation program had not been allocated to any projects after two years.
Answer from Tim Ayres
The minister stated that the funding was being evaluated by the Clean Energy Finance Corporation consistent with its mandate. He highlighted that the government had added over 18 gigawatts of renewables to the grid since May 2022 and was focused on delivering faster approval times and bigger projects. He argued that Western Australia had shared ambition for industrial development and that the government was committed to backing blue-collar jobs through renewable and transmission projects.
Question from Fatima Payman
The senator asked for the status of fuel shipments linked to Russian oil and whether the government would follow the EU's lead in closing loopholes for third-country imports.
Background: Senator Payman asked about fuel shipments from India's Jamnagar refinery, which uses Russian oil, and whether this violated sanctions or funded the war in Ukraine.
Answer from Penny Wong
The minister confirmed that direct imports of Russian energy had fallen to zero due to sanctions, including those on the shadow fleet. She stated that mechanisms to track oil through third countries did not currently exist in those nations. She noted the EU's ban would start in January 2026 but lacked implementation guidance. She encouraged businesses to ensure their supply chains did not inadvertently fund Russia's invasion.
Question from Fatima Payman
The senator asked how the government supports parents who wish to stay at home with their children given rising living costs.
Background: National debate has focused on childcare safety and the economic pressure on parents to enrol children in centres.
Answer from Jess Walsh
The minister noted that paid parental leave increased to 24 weeks in July and will rise to 26 weeks next year. She stated that legislation is before parliament to withdraw subsidies from providers prioritising profit over safety. A billion-dollar fund is being used to invest in not-for-profit early learning. The government is working with states on reforms including a nationwide educator register and mandatory child-safe training.
Question from Fatima Payman
The senator asked what work had been done since the consultation on unfair trading practices closed in December. She followed up by asking if the government would implement reforms requiring guest checkout options and timely renewal reminders for subscriptions.
Background: The senator asked about progress on banning subscription traps and other unfair trading practices.
Answer from Katy Gallagher
The minister reported that 138 submissions were received and Treasury was completing a regulatory impact analysis. She confirmed the government was focusing on reforms to address subscription traps, drip pricing, and dark patterns. She noted that these reforms required agreement with state and territory governments under Australian consumer laws and that the specific issues raised by stakeholders were part of the ongoing consultation process.
Question from Fatima Payman
The senator asked if the government had contacted the Trump administration regarding the steel and aluminium tariffs and what the plan was to protect Western Australian jobs if an exemption was not secured.
Background: President Trump declared a 25 per cent duty on steel and aluminium. The question concerned government attempts to obtain an exemption for Australia.
Answer from Penny Wong
The minister highlighted the strong economic relationship between Australia and the US, noting the Prime Minister had recently spoken with President Trump to make a case for an exemption. She stated the government was working closely with the US administration and would continue to press for Australia's interests. She defended AUKUS as being in Australia's national interest despite the senator's criticism.
Question from Fatima Payman
The senator asked when Australian values allowed for the actions in Gaza. She followed up by asking how the government could support a two-state solution while refusing to recognise Palestine. She also asked if the government's silence was due to fear of US tariffs.
Background: The senator referenced Trump's Gaza proposals and the government's silence.
Answer from Penny Wong
The minister reiterated the government's support for a two-state solution achieved in accordance with international law. She outlined conditions for recognition, including that a future Palestinian state must not threaten Israel's security, Hamas must have no role in governance, hostages must be released, and issues like Jerusalem and territory must be defined through negotiations. She stated that the government had taken a principled and consistent position throughout the conflict.
