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 Kate Chaney
The member asked if the Prime Minister would commit to increasing funding for the AI Safety Institute, noting its current low budget compared to biosecurity.
Background: The Independent member asked if the government would increase funding for the AI Safety Institute.
Answer from Anthony Albanese
The Prime Minister stated that the AI Safety Institute had been established less than a year ago and that funding decisions were made through the ERC and budget processes. He emphasized the importance of Australian standards for AI and community engagement regarding data centres. He noted that the institute worked with international partners and the Australian Signals Directorate to manage emerging risks.
Question from Kate Chaney
The member asked when the government would legislate a framework for automated decision-making that included safeguards, human override, and transparency.
Background: The member noted that three years had passed since the robodebt royal commission recommended safeguards for automated decision-making.
Answer from Michelle Rowland
The Minister confirmed that the government was creating a unified approach across all agencies for automated decisions to carry out the robodebt royal commission's recommendations. She stated that this system would feature strong protections for openness, human supervision, and review rights, based on wide consultations. She noted that a special team in her department was working quickly to deliver this change and that she would meet with the member to discuss the matter further.
Question from Kate Chaney
The member asked when the government would pledge to enact all reforms advised in the Ambitious Australia report.
Background: An independent member raised concerns about Australia's declining ranking in STEM graduates and low R&D investment relative to OECD averages.
Answer from Michelle Rowland
The Minister stated that implementing the report's recommendations would take time, but the recent budget included initial steps. She noted $2 billion in new R&D spending, bringing total government spend to over $39.1 billion. She mentioned the establishment of the National Resilience and Science Council, $1.5 billion for science capability, and $589 million for clinical trials. She also highlighted treaty negotiations with Horizon Europe, worth $155 billion, to be accessed in 2027.
Question from Kate Chaney
The member asked whether the government would commit to a digital duty of care that included an overarching duty to address emerging harms, rather than limiting accountability to currently identified harms.
Background: The Independent member for Curtin asked the Minister for Communications about committing to a digital duty of care that was future-proofed against emerging harms like AI-related issues.
Answer from Anika Wells
The minister explained that the digital duty of care aimed to prevent psychosocial harm and enforce safety by design, shifting the onus to tech companies. She stated that defining harm as psychosocial captured emerging issues as research developed. She compared the current regulatory approach to the introduction of seatbelts, noting that cultural change takes time. She affirmed that the government was working towards holding tech companies accountable and looked forward to continuing work on the digital duty of care later in the year.
Question from Kate Chaney
The member asked if the digital duty of care would cover AI chatbots that simulate emotional intimacy, or if the government would extend the under-16 social media ban to these apps.
Background: An independent member raised concerns about the psychological harm of AI chatbots to children.
Answer from Anika Wells
The Minister stated that all digital platforms, including AI chatbots, must protect young Australians from harm or face fines of up to $49.5 million. She noted that AI nudify apps were being restricted. She explained that the social media ban applied to specific harms associated with social media platforms, whereas chatbots were not social media. She confirmed that under the digital duty of care, AI chatbots would be required to adopt safety-by-design principles to protect young Australians.
Question from Kate Chaney
The member asked why the government had not implemented the Robodebt Royal Commission recommendation to enact laws providing protections and supervision for automated decision-making in government.
Background: An independent member asked why the government had not legislated safeguards for automated decision-making, citing concerns about income support cancellations and NDIS changes.
Answer from Tanya Plibersek
The Minister stated that the government required human oversight for all AI use and did not hand over decision-making to computer programs. She noted that 93 per cent of the robodebt royal commission's 52 recommendations had been implemented, with work ongoing on the remaining four, three of which required legislation. She criticized the opposition for creating the robodebt scheme, which caused suffering and deaths, and assured the member that the government used strict guardrails and human oversight for automated tools.
Question from Kate Chaney
The member asked about the consultation process regarding capital gains tax reforms and whether the government was considering a carve-out for early-stage businesses.
Background: The member for Curtin expressed concern about the impact of capital gains tax reforms on the startup sector and asked about the consultation process and potential carve-outs.
Answer from Jim Chalmers
The Treasurer acknowledged that more work and consultation were needed for the startup and venture capital sector. He stated that the budget was supportive of venture capital and that the government had been consulting privately with the sector. The Treasurer committed to continuing work on issues such as the calculation of the cost base for capital gains tax to ensure the best outcome for this important part of the economy.
Question from Kate Chaney
The member asked when a compulsory legal system for automated decision-making in government could be expected.
Background: There were concerns about automated decision-making in aged care and the NDIS following the robodebt scheme.
Answer from Michelle Rowland
The Attorney-General stated that the government was developing a consistent whole-of-government framework to implement Royal Commission recommendations. She explained that the framework would improve accuracy, embed safeguards, and ensure lawful use with human oversight. She noted that extensive consultation had occurred and the framework was being developed carefully. She did not provide a specific timeline but offered to engage further when more information was available.
Question from Kate Chaney
The member asked why the government had not responded to the report's recommendations, noting that Australians still lose more to gambling than any other country.
Background: The government had not responded to the Peta Murphy committee report on gambling harm.
Answer from Anthony Albanese
The Prime Minister disputed the claim that the government had not acted, citing legislation to stop gambling companies from claiming R&D tax incentives. He listed other measures including banning credit cards for online wagering, mandatory ID preverification, monthly win-loss statements, and the National Self-Exclusion Register (BetStop). He stated that ministers would continue to engage on the issue.
Question from Kate Chaney
The member asked if the upcoming budget would include further investment in AI opportunities and safety, citing concerns about the current plan's hands-off posture.
Background: An independent member raised concerns about the National AI Plan's funding and regulatory approach.
Answer from Jim Chalmers
The Treasurer stated that the government was committed to robust legal and ethical frameworks for AI and was engaging internationally. He noted that the budget had not been finalized but assured the member that the government was attentive to AI risks and opportunities.
Question from Kate Chaney
The member asked what more the government would do to build safe online spaces.
Background: The member asked about further actions to protect Australians from social media harms beyond the minimum age ban.
Answer from Anthony Albanese
The Prime Minister noted that 4.7 million accounts had been shut down or paused under the social media ban. He highlighted the upcoming digital duty of care, which would require platforms to proactively protect users from harm, including grooming and algorithmic extremism. He emphasized the need for social media companies to accept social responsibility.
Question from Kate Chaney
The member asked why the government was failing to respond to committee recommendations within the required timeframe.
Background: The government has been slow to respond to parliamentary committee reports.
Answer from Anthony Albanese
The Prime Minister stated that the government follows an orderly decision-making process, considering committee reports through cabinet and expenditure review processes. He emphasized that this ensures proper funding and policy development. He contrasted this with the previous government's failure to respond to reports at all and highlighted regular engagement with the crossbench.
Question from Kate Chaney
The member asked whether the government's policies aimed to increase, plateau, or reduce house prices to address the affordability crisis.
Background: House prices had risen significantly relative to income. The question asked about the government's specific policy goals regarding house prices.
Answer from Anthony Albanese
The Prime Minister stated that the government was increasing supply through social housing, private rentals, and home ownership schemes. He criticized the opposition and Greens for blocking the build-to-rent incentive in the Senate.
Question from Kate Chaney
The member asked why the Prime Minister would not allow a free vote on banning online gambling advertisements.
Background: The member asked why the government had not responded to the Murphy review's recommendation to ban gambling ads.
Answer from Anthony Albanese
The Prime Minister stated that the Labor Party makes decisions collectively in caucus. He noted that the government had introduced more legislation on problem gambling than any previous administration and was working with media and sporting organizations. He emphasized that reforms would be implemented piece by piece rather than through a single legislative fix.
Question from Kate Chaney
The member asked whether the government would consider amendments to strengthen safeguards around the offsets fund.
Background: The member raised concerns about loopholes in the environmental protection reforms regarding offsets funds.
Answer from Tony Burke
The Minister explained that the new legislation shifted from a 'no net loss' to a 'net gain' principle. He described the establishment of an independent Restoration Contributions Holder to manage landscape-scale offsets. He stated that the government was open to discussions and amendments to ensure the legislation passed.
Question from Kate Chaney
The member asked if the government would quickly implement its crackdown on 'nudify' apps and support her bill to criminalize downloading AI tools designed to create such material.
Background: Concerns were raised about AI-generated child sexual abuse material.
Answer from Michelle Rowland
The Attorney-General acknowledged the concern and the member's bill, which would be given due consideration. She noted the government had brought forward the statutory review of the Online Safety Act and announced steps to address harmful apps. She confirmed that criminal sanctions were being discussed with state and territory attorneys-general at the Standing Council of Attorneys-General. She emphasized the bipartisan nature of the effort to establish appropriate guardrails against these technologies.
Question from Kate Chaney
The member asked if the delay in responding to the Murphy inquiry was due to lobbying by powerful interests and what the Prime Minister would say to those experiencing gambling harm who are still exposed to advertisements.
Background: Personal stories of gambling harm were shared in parliament, and the government had not yet responded to the Murphy inquiry into online gambling.
Answer from Anthony Albanese
The Prime Minister disputed the claim that no response had been provided, stating the government has done more than any previous administration. He highlighted the BetStop self-exclusion register, which had 46,369 total registrations and 30,750 active exclusions by the end of July, with 39 per cent of registrants choosing a lifetime ban. He listed other measures including banning credit cards for online wagering, mandatory customer ID pre-verification, monthly win-loss statements, and strengthening classification of gambling-like video games. He stated the government aims to break the connection between wagering and sport and ensure the industry acts responsibly.
Question from Kate Chaney
The member asked why the National Reconstruction Fund was not investing faster, given the pressing requirement to release private capital for the net zero transition.
Background: The member noted that less than five per cent of the $15 billion National Reconstruction Fund had been invested two years after its establishment.
Answer from Pat Conroy
The Minister stated that the fund had made nine investments worth over $430 million, including $200 million in Arafura Rare Earths Ltd. He noted that the fund was less than two years old and investments would ramp up over time. He highlighted complementary investments from the Clean Energy Finance Corporation and ARENA, which had leveraged significant private capital. He emphasized the government's broader commitment to net zero transition opportunities.
Question from Kate Chaney
The member asked whether the government would commit to implementing the 31 unanimous recommendations from the online gambling inquiry, including phasing out ads.
Background: An independent member asked the Minister for Communications about the implementation of recommendations from an inquiry into online gambling.
Answer from Anika Wells
The Minister stated that the government had delivered significant harm reduction initiatives, including banning credit cards for online wagering, launching the BetStop national self-exclusion register, requiring monthly activity statements, and introducing staff training and ID verification. She noted that BetStop had recorded 44,841 registrations by June 2025. She confirmed that work on further reforms was ongoing in consultation with stakeholders.
Question from Kate Chaney
The member asked whether the Treasurer agreed that indexing tax brackets, as done by 17 other OECD countries, would prevent reliance on income tax increases and improve transparency.
Background: The member raised the issue of bracket creep and tax transparency.
Answer from Jim Chalmers
The Treasurer acknowledged various suggestions for income tax reform but emphasized the government's focus on delivering tax cuts to all taxpayers. He noted that while some OECD countries index brackets, others do not, and that the government's chosen method of returning bracket creep benefits workforce participation. He stated that tax reform priorities must be balanced with public investment needs.
