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 Melissa McIntosh
The member asked whether the Prime Minister agreed with the New South Wales Premier's assertion that federal tax policies were causing fewer homes to be built and less construction activity.
Background: The member cited claims that 421 New South Wales building companies had gone bankrupt and that the state premier attributed reduced construction to federal taxes.
Answer from Anthony Albanese
The Prime Minister presented data showing the total value of housing in Australia had increased from $10.1 trillion to $12.7 trillion, a 26 per cent rise. He noted that median house prices had risen in Perth, Brisbane, and Adelaide, and that less than one per cent of mortgage holders were in negative equity. He stated that 8,468 investors had signed up to build new homes in the June quarter, a record high, and that more than 660,000 new homes had been built under the government. He added that construction cost inflation had fallen from 17 per cent to 3.8 per cent.
Question from Melissa McIntosh
The member asked whether the minister was proud of policies that allegedly caused rental surges, referencing a specific forecast from a property manager and the minister's prior statements on tax reform.
Background: The member cited a claim by Ray White that rents could rise by 30 per cent due to government tax policies, contrasting this with the minister's previous comments on capital gains tax.
Answer from Clare O'Neil
The minister rejected the premise, stating that Ray White had explicitly clarified they were not forecasting a 30 per cent rent rise. She noted that the opposition had previously misquoted the National Australia Bank on similar issues. The minister argued that the government had decades of advocacy for renters and was implementing comprehensive reforms to support them, including building more homes and improving rental standards, while accusing the opposition of defending a broken system.
Question from Melissa McIntosh
The member expressed willingness to work with the government on the national action plan and thanked a young advocate for sharing his story.
Background: A shadow minister associated the coalition with the Prime Minister's previous remarks and highlighted the financial barriers preventing women from leaving violent partners.
Answer from The Prime Minister (Anthony Albanese)
The Prime Minister did not provide a substantive answer to this statement, as it was an indulgence rather than a direct question requiring a policy response.
Question from Melissa McIntosh
The member associated the coalition with the Prime Minister's words and emphasized the role of electorate offices in supporting victims.
Background: The Shadow Minister spoke on indulgence regarding domestic violence.
Answer from Melissa McIntosh (Lindsay) (Liberal Party)
The member stated that electorate offices often served as the frontline for domestic violence cases. She emphasized that the issue would not disappear despite funding. She asserted that the coalition would stand with the government to end violence against women and children.
Question from Melissa McIntosh
The member asked whether the Prime Minister would exclude the possibility of accepting the Greens' request to end grandfathering for negative gearing.
Background: The Shadow Minister for Families questioned the Prime Minister on the deal with the Greens, specifically regarding negative gearing.
Answer from Anthony Albanese
The Prime Minister confirmed that legislation passed the House and would be carried by the Senate, noting the opposition's refusal to engage. He contrasted the government's construction of 55,000 social and affordable homes with the opposition's record. He clarified that the government supports grandfathering for negative gearing and allows it for new homes, unlike the Greens' position. He stated that the opposition wants to reinstate tax breaks for investors, which would undermine first home buyers.
Question from Melissa McIntosh
The member asked how many ISIS sympathisers who arrived in Australia had been detained or prosecuted for going into a designated terrorist area.
Background: The shadow minister for families and social services asked how many ISIS sympathisers who arrived in Australia had been arrested or charged.
Answer from Tony Burke
The Minister stated that of the two cohorts that had arrived in recent weeks, three people were currently behind bars. One was charged with entering a declared area, and two were charged with crimes against humanity. He reminded the opposition that before the government came to office, 45 people who had gone to fight had self-managed their return.
Question from Melissa McIntosh
The member asked why Labor was pushing up rents for all Australians when it had promised not to, citing budget papers that confirmed rent increases.
Background: The Shadow Minister for Women questioned the Prime Minister about budget papers confirming that rents would rise due to new housing tax changes.
Answer from Anthony Albanese
The Prime Minister stated that the budget helps with the cost of living and backs aspiration by fixing the housing system. He clarified that negative gearing remains available for new builds, which boosts supply. He argued that the budget papers show more houses will be built, not fewer, and highlighted other measures like Medicare reforms and tax cuts. He criticized the Opposition for opposing tax cuts and real wage increases.
Question from Melissa McIntosh
The member asked when the government would ensure fuel availability to prevent Australians from choosing between eating and driving, and why the minister would not commit to daily updates on individual service stations.
Background: The Shadow Minister for Women cited a constituent's financial stress due to fuel costs and asked when the government would ensure fuel availability and commit to daily updates.
Answer from Chris Bowen
The Minister stated the government had been taking action since 28 February to ensure supply and distribution. He noted that international oil prices were the primary driver of petrol costs, a factor beyond government control. Regarding updates, he confirmed he had been providing daily updates in the House and pointed out that every state had apps or websites with service station information. He mentioned that a national system had been tried before and opposed by the Liberal Party.
Question from Melissa McIntosh
The member asked whether the minister agreed with the Premier's suggestion of rationing.
Background: The New South Wales Premier suggested demand management procedures, possibly rationing, were required.
Answer from Chris Bowen
The minister stated that the government was working constructively with state governments and industry through a supply coordinator. He denied that rationing was being implemented or requested, characterizing the opposition's approach as fearmongering.
Question from Melissa McIntosh
The member asked when the minister was informed about the cancellation of the first fuel shipment.
Background: The Shadow Minister for Women asked the Minister for Climate Change and Energy when he was notified of the first cancelled fuel shipment.
Answer from Chris Bowen

Question from Melissa McIntosh
The member asked the minister to assure a specific business owner that there were no fuel shortages in Western Sydney.
Background: The shadow minister cited a plumber in her electorate who had to take a truck off the road due to fuel shortages.
Answer from Chris Bowen
The minister stated that fuel supplies were secure, citing 2.97 billion litres of diesel and 1.56 billion litres of petrol in reserve. He emphasized that panic buying was the primary cause of supply issues and invited the opposition to provide constructive suggestions rather than demanding reserve releases.
Question from Melissa McIntosh
The member asked the Prime Minister to accept responsibility for lowering living standards, citing constituents who could not afford basic necessities after paying for housing and utilities.
Background: Constituents reported financial hardship due to mortgage, bill, and grocery costs.
Answer from Anthony Albanese
The Prime Minister highlighted the creation of 1.2 million jobs and the implementation of tax cuts, including changes to stage 3 tax cuts. He noted that the opposition had opposed these tax cuts, pay rises, and penalty rate protections. He also mentioned benefits for student debt reduction, bulk-billing support, and cheaper childcare for over one million families, attributing these improvements to government policy.
Question from Melissa McIntosh
The member asked if any ISIS sympathisers being returned home would settle in the Prime Minister's electorate of Grayndler or Western Sydney.
Background: The Shadow Minister for Women asked if ISIS sympathisers would settle in the Prime Minister's electorate.
Answer from Tony Burke
The minister stated that the government was not resettling anyone. He clarified that individuals were returning on Australian passports, a process that had occurred under previous governments. He emphasized that the government had refused repatriation requests and was not involved in settling these individuals.
Question from Melissa McIntosh
The member asked why the government could not tighten its belt.
Background: The member cited a mother relying on a community pantry and a DFAT expenditure of $17,930 on a Kylie Minogue impersonator.
Answer from Anthony Albanese
The Prime Minister highlighted energy bill relief, cheaper batteries, medicines, free TAFE, tax cuts, and urgent care clinics. He contrasted this with previous government waste, citing cost blowouts for Inland Rail and NBN, payments for cancelled submarines, robodebt compensation, and other expenditures.
Question from Melissa McIntosh
The member asked if the Prime Minister would condemn Grace Tame's antisemitic conduct and disassociate himself from her words.
Background: Grace Tame chanted an antisemitic slur at a Sydney rally, and the Minister for Social Services refused to specifically condemn it.
Answer from Anthony Albanese
The Prime Minister referred to his previous answer regarding the need to lower the temperature of the debate. He stated that the government should not look for political opportunities in a devastating situation and urged a reduction in rhetoric.
Question from Melissa McIntosh
The member asked why households in Western Sydney were suffering from mortgage stress due to government spending and inflation, and whether the Prime Minister had a plan to address this issue.
Background: The Shadow Minister for Women cited that over 90 per cent of mortgage holders in Campbelltown, Mount Druitt, and Liverpool were struggling, attributing this to government spending and inflation, and asked for a plan to address mortgage stress.
Answer from Anthony Albanese
The Prime Minister stated that inflation was half what it was when the government took office and that interest rates had fallen three times this year. He highlighted that real wages had increased quarter after quarter, citing the 'same job, same pay' legislation which helped aviation workers earn significantly more. He noted the creation of 1.1 million jobs, with three-fifths being full-time, and record women's workforce participation. He mentioned tax cuts for all taxpayers and two more rounds to come. He urged the member to support cost-of-living measures such as energy bill relief, cheaper childcare, medicines, batteries, and free TAFE, which had benefited 685,000 Australians, and student debt relief for over three million people.
Question from Melissa McIntosh
The member asked why the minister's office did not immediately inform the department about the outage, suggesting it was due to the minister's planned trip to New York.
Background: The Shadow Minister for Communications questioned why the minister did not immediately raise the triple 0 outage with her department upon being advised.
Answer from Anika Wells
The minister said she learned of the significant service failure on 19 September around 4:30 pm when Optus reached out to her office. She noted that she postponed her journey to collect details and update premiers and the community, instead holding a press conference on Saturday. She stressed that the fatalities strengthened her determination and that her office would handle the issue with strictness to guarantee system safety.
Question from Melissa McIntosh
The member asked why the minister expressed confusion about the opposition's amendment to double penalties and whether she would now act to implement the higher penalty.
Background: The Shadow Minister for Communications asked if the minister would review her decision regarding the penalty amendment for triple 0 failures.
Answer from Anika Wells
The minister reminded the shadow minister that the government had already introduced legislation enhancing consumer safeguards, increasing penalties for telcos by 40 times to up to $10 million. She offered to continue working on penalties within the existing bill before the House, noting that the shadow minister had previously supported these increases. She stated she was done with the matter.
Question from Melissa McIntosh
The member asked why the minister had not apologized to victims and their families, noting that her office was aware of the crisis 24 hours before she claimed to find out.
Background: The Shadow Minister for Communications pressed the minister to apologize to victims of the triple 0 outage, citing alleged lack of compassion.
Answer from Anika Wells
The minister repeated that Optus had advised her office on 18 September that the outage was minor and resolved with no adverse impacts. Regarding the larger outage, she stated she inquired about the correct process for contacting families and was advised that emergency services were the appropriate agency. She said she would meet with affected families if they wished but was respecting their space and avoiding politicizing their grief.
Question from Melissa McIntosh
The member asked why the government had not implemented all recommendations from the Bean review and whether the minister would apologise for the delay.
Background: The Bean review had made 18 recommendations to fix the triple zero network 565 days prior.
Answer from Anika Wells
The minister stated that 13 of the 18 recommendations were complete, with the remaining five dependent on industry action. She noted that she had urged telecommunications CEOs to accelerate implementation of the outstanding items, and they had agreed to do so. She criticised the shadow minister for equivocating on support for the new triple zero custodian legislation, arguing that the government had acted swiftly and that the opposition should support the bill rather than politicise the crisis.
Question from Melissa McIntosh
The member asked why people had to die before the minister instructed her department to accelerate the implementation of triple zero guardian legislation recommended 18 months ago.
Background: The minister had urged Optus to accelerate reforms three weeks after the outage.
Answer from Anika Wells
The minister rejected the premise that the government had sat on the issue, stating that the triple zero custodian would not exist without the government's action. She outlined the timeline: the Bean review recommended a custodian in March 2024, a steering committee reported in November 2024, and the department recommended the custodian operate within the department in March 2025. She asserted that the government had worked continuously to protect Australians and hold failing providers accountable.
Question from Melissa McIntosh
The member asked when the minister personally found out about the outage and how she was advised.
Background: The triple zero outage occurred on 18 September.
Answer from Anika Wells
The minister said her office informed her late on Friday afternoon that over 600 calls were affected and three people died.
Question from Melissa McIntosh
The member asked why the government was blaming the sector for delays when providers claimed they were ready.
Background: Aged-care providers had told a Senate inquiry they had capacity to take on more patients immediately.
Answer from Sam Rae
The minister acknowledged that some providers were enthusiastic but stated that the government wanted to minimize disruption for older people during the system-wide reform. He emphasized that work was ongoing until 1 November to ensure the new system worked effectively for older Australians.
Question from Melissa McIntosh
The member asked the Prime Minister if his position remained that Australians would only need their Medicare card, not a credit card, to see a general practitioner.
Background: The Shadow Minister for Women restated her question regarding the Prime Minister's February promise that only a Medicare card would be needed to see a GP.
Answer from Anthony Albanese
The Prime Minister encouraged the opposition to support the policy they had previously agreed to, which involved an $8.5 billion investment to raise bulk-billing rates to 90 per cent by 2030. He stated that the Australian public had voted in favor of saving Medicare and increasing bulk-billing. He criticized the opposition's past attempts to introduce co-payments and abolish bulk-billing.
