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 Matt Burnell
The member asked how the government was securing better retirement outcomes through superannuation and whether any risks existed to this strategy.
Background: The member asked how the government was ensuring the superannuation system delivered better retirement outcomes and if there were risks to this approach.
Answer from Daniel Mulino
The Minister highlighted reforms such as paying super on parental leave and payday super to prevent losses. He announced August reforms to strengthen consumer protections and fix procedural issues in the compensation scheme for misconduct. He argued that opposition policies would cost Australians thousands of dollars and undermine retirement security. He emphasised that the government was committed to defending the superannuation system against attacks from the Coalition and One Nation.
Question from Matt Burnell
The member asked how the government was providing improved conditions for gig workers and why this method was better than other options.
Background: New workplace reforms regarding gig economy workers were coming into effect.
Answer from Amanda Rishworth
The Minister reported that new minimum standards for platform food delivery drivers had commenced, providing a minimum hourly pay of $31.30 and potential pay boosts of up to 25 per cent. She highlighted that these reforms included accident insurance, dispute resolution processes, and representation rights. She noted that the opposition had voted against these changes, which she described as world-leading protections that ensure workers do not rely on tips to survive.
Question from Matt Burnell
The member asked what the data indicated about wages and whether there were risks to retirement incomes.
Background: A government member asked about the implications of recent earnings data for Australian incomes and retirement security.
Answer from Jim Chalmers
The Treasurer reported that average weekly full-time earnings had risen by more than $300 since the government was elected, and the gender pay gap had fallen to 11.3 per cent. He stated real wages growth was expected to return as inflation subsided. He criticised the opposition for wanting to end compulsory superannuation, citing comments from Senator Bragg and the shadow Treasurer.
Question from Matt Burnell
The member asked how the government was delivering defence capability and creating jobs, and how this compared to the inherited situation.
Background: The member asked about defence capability delivery and job creation compared to the previous government.
Answer from Pat Conroy
The Minister stated that defence industry jobs in South Australia had increased by 40 per cent. He highlighted a $212 billion deal to sell JORN radar to Canada, supporting a thousand jobs. He mentioned a $1 billion export deal for Boxer vehicles to Germany. He cited $7 billion invested in counterdrone capabilities. He noted the production of Ghost Sharks and Bluebottle drone boats. He stated that defence manufacturing output had grown by 35 per cent, contrasting this with an 18 per cent fall under the previous government.
Question from Matt Burnell
The member asked how the historic signing of Australia's largest defence export to Canada would deliver high-paid secure jobs.
Background: Australia signed a defence export agreement with Canada for over-the-horizon radar.
Answer from Richard Marles
The Minister stated that the $2.5 billion deal for over-the-horizon radar was the largest defence export in Australian history, surpassing the $1 billion Boxer sale to Germany. He noted that the Canadian deal would support 1,000 direct and indirect jobs, primarily in South Australia and Victoria. The Minister highlighted that the radar technology, developed since 1986, was the best in the world for long-range surveillance. He emphasized that the deal strengthened the strategic partnership with Canada and supported Australian industry.
Question from Matt Burnell
The member asked what progress had been made in delivering Australia's future AUKUS submarines.
Background: The government had been in office for some time, and progress on defence capabilities was a key issue.
Answer from Richard Marles
The Minister stated that AUKUS was in full flight, with over 1,000 high-skilled jobs currently active across various sites including Osborne and HMAS Stirling. He noted that 220 submariners were working on Virginia-class submarines in the US and 220 ASC workers were gaining experience at Pearl Harbor. He confirmed the Royal Australian Navy would operate eight nuclear-powered submarines, with one shifting from a new to an in-service Virginia class.
Question from Matt Burnell
The member inquired how the government was delivering significant investment in the defence force.
Background: The member asked about the government's historic investment in the Australian Defence Force.
Answer from Richard Marles
The Minister stated that the National Defence Strategy 2026 and the updated Integrated Investment Program provided a consistent two-yearly update cycle. He noted that defence spending would increase by $141.2 billion over the forward estimates and $53 billion over the decade. Since taking office, the government had increased defence spending by $30 billion over four years and $117 billion over the decade. The strategy included $12 billion to $15 billion for autonomous systems and drones to enhance capability in a volatile global environment.
Question from Matt Burnell
The member asked for an update on the Prime Minister's commitment to speak with Josh, a farmer facing fuel supply issues.
Background: A government member asked for an update on a farmer from the Eyre Peninsula who had difficulty accessing fuel.
Answer from Anthony Albanese
The Prime Minister stated he had spoken with Josh, who farms canola, wheat, cereals, and cattle. Josh accessed fuel from Eyre Fuels, an independent operator facing acute issues due to system interactions with suppliers. The Prime Minister contacted Liberty, the supplier for the Port Lincoln fuel terminal, which had shortages but was prioritizing emergency services. A ship of fuel had arrived at the terminal. The Prime Minister confirmed Josh would receive fuel within 48 hours. He acknowledged the broader challenges faced by many Australians and committed to continuing assistance.
Question from Matt Burnell
The member asked what actions the government was taking to assist the transport sector and resolve fuel supply issues.
Background: The transport industry was facing disruptions due to fuel shortages and price increases.
Answer from Catherine King
The Minister announced that the heavy vehicle road user charge was reduced to zero for three months and the next scheduled increase was deferred by six months. She noted that halving the fuel excise would reduce costs by 26.3 cents per litre. These measures were complemented by Fair Work Act changes allowing quicker renegotiation of rates for truck drivers. Legislation was also introduced to underwrite purchases of fuel and essentials to secure cargo supplies.
Question from Matt Burnell
The member asked how the government was facilitating free GP access for Australians and why this mattered following ten years of reductions.
Background: A government member asked the Minister for Health and Ageing how the government was facilitating free GP access for Australians.
Answer from Mark Butler
The minister reported that bulk-billing had improved since the government tripled the bulk-billing incentive and extended payments to all Australians. He stated that the count of Spence general practices providing full bulk-billing to every patient had tripled since November, with two out of three practices now 100 per cent bulk-billing. Nationally, 3,621 general practices were bulk-billing all patients, achieving the 2028 target early. He highlighted new health services in Adelaide's north, including an urgent care clinic, a headspace service, and a perinatal mental health centre.
Question from Matt Burnell
The member asked about the federal government's collaboration with South Australia to support Whyalla steelworkers and the significance of this for sovereign manufacturing.
Background: A government member asked the Minister representing the Minister for Industry and Innovation how the government was working with South Australia to back steelworkers in Whyalla and why this was important for sovereign capability.
Answer from Pat Conroy
The Minister highlighted the joint intervention to save the Whyalla steelworks, which had restored performance and created jobs. He noted that 52 tonnes of Whyalla steel were used in the Port Wakefield missile factory, linking steelmaking to defence sovereignty. He mentioned the connection between the Mount Isa copper smelter and fertilizer production. The Minister stated that there were now 70 apprentices at the steelworks and five serious bidders interested in purchasing it. He framed these outcomes as essential for economic resilience and sovereign capability.
Question from Matt Burnell
The member asked about the government's response to fuel challenges arising from the Middle East conflict.
Background: Fuel challenges caused by the Middle East conflict.
Answer from Chris Bowen
The Minister stated that fuel supplies are arriving as scheduled and stocks are strong, but acknowledged unacceptable shortages in rural and regional areas due to doubled demand. He announced a temporary 60-day relaxation of sulphur content requirements under the Fuel Quality Standards Act, allowing 100 million litres of extra fuel per month from the Ampol refinery to be blended into the Australian supply. This additional fuel will be prioritized for regional Australia, particularly Queensland, to alleviate pressure on those areas while maintaining high fuel quality standards.
Question from Matt Burnell
The member asked about government actions on student debt and accessibility.
Background: The member asked about cutting student debt and making university more accessible.
Answer from Jason Clare
The minister stated that student debt had been cut by 20 per cent for three million Australians. He highlighted the expansion of university study hubs to 69 locations across the country, including in Elizabeth, South Australia, to bring tertiary education closer to regional and outer suburban communities.
Question from Matt Burnell
The member asked what the government was doing to build more houses and help Australians into homeownership.
Background: The government is pursuing a 100,000 homes policy to address housing shortages.
Answer from Clare O'Neil
The Minister highlighted a deal with South Australia to build 17,000 homes, with 7,000 reserved for first-home buyers. She noted the government is on track to build 55,000 homes, contrasting this with the previous government's record of building only 373 homes. She criticized the opposition for lacking a coherent housing policy and for proposing policies that would reduce supply.
Question from Matt Burnell
The member requested details on how the world-leading social media minimum age law would protect young Australians.
Background: A government member asked the Minister for Communications about the social media minimum age law.
Answer from Anika Wells
The minister explained that delaying social media access until age 16 protects developing brains from dopamine-driven reward systems. She cited a meeting with a 12-year-old student and a neuroscientist who highlighted the risks of social media to young people's mental health and development. She stated the law would give young people three more years to build resilience in the real world before accessing platforms.
Question from Matt Burnell
The member asked how the Prime Minister's recent international engagements were creating economic growth and job opportunities for Australians.
Background: The Prime Minister had recently visited the United States and was attending the ASEAN Summit in Malaysia.
Answer from Richard Marles
The minister emphasised the importance of the Asia-Pacific region, noting ASEAN would become the fourth-largest economy by 2040 and three-quarters of Australia's trade comes from the APEC region. He highlighted the strong economic relationship with the US, including low tariffs and significant investment flows. He criticised the opposition for undermining these relationships and asserted the government was actively managing these ties for national prosperity and security.
Question from Matt Burnell
The member asked how households and communities could benefit from more renewable energy and storage, and what obstacles stood in the way.
Background: The government was promoting renewable energy and battery storage.
Answer from Chris Bowen
The minister reported that 47,342 households had installed batteries, with high uptake in regional electorates. He identified political division and hypocrisy from opposition members as obstacles, citing past support for renewables by National Party leaders and the opposition leader. He argued that the opposition was now engaging in point-scoring rather than supporting the transition.
Question from Matt Burnell
The member asked how the government was delivering cost-of-living assistance for early childhood education and if any proposals would jeopardise this.
Background: A government member asked about cost-of-living relief for early childhood education and potential risks.
Answer from Anne Aly
The Minister stated that over a million families had benefited from cheaper childcare reforms, with a family earning $120,000 saving around $2,766. She highlighted fee caps and a 15 per cent wage increase for as many as 200,000 early childhood staff, which had reduced workforce vacancy rates by 22 per cent. She warned that the opposition had opposed these measures and would likely cut funding to pay for corporate lunches.
