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 Michelle Landry
The member asked whether building a new second dwelling on an existing title would classify the whole title as a new dwelling under the tax reforms.
Background: The member questioned the definition of a 'new build' in the tax legislation, specifically regarding new dwellings on existing titles.
Answer from Clare O'Neil
The Minister stated that a new dwelling is defined as one that genuinely adds to housing supply.
Question from Michelle Landry
The member asked if the minister could guarantee fuel availability for Australians traveling to regional areas for Easter and why he would not commit to daily updates on individual service stations.
Background: A National Party member asked if the minister could guarantee fuel availability for Easter travel and why he would not commit to daily updates on individual stations.
Answer from Chris Bowen
The Minister reiterated that Ampol's distribution to regional Queensland had increased substantially year-on-year, indicating industry efforts to catch up with demand. He stated that the government was working hard to ensure fuel access for Easter and beyond. He criticized misleading claims about fuel exports and net zero links. Regarding updates, he confirmed he would continue providing daily updates in the House and noted that state premiers and state websites were also providing useful information.
Question from Michelle Landry
The member asked the Prime Minister to accept responsibility for declining living standards and productivity.
Background: The member asserted that productivity had stalled and fallen by 4.7 per cent since the Labor government assumed power.
Answer from Anthony Albanese
The Prime Minister stated that the economy was growing at the fastest rate in three years and faster than any other advanced economy. He noted that per capita living standards were positive and productivity had improved across the year. He attributed this to government measures opposed by the opposition, such as child care guarantees, student debt relief, and housing initiatives, contrasting them with the opposition's plan which would have cut these services and increased deficits.
Question from Michelle Landry
The member asked for the total cost to taxpayers of the government's renewable energy policy.
Background: Questions were raised about the taxpayer cost of the government's renewable energy policy.
Answer from Chris Bowen
The Minister stated that the cost of the Capacity Investment Scheme was commercial in confidence, noting that this principle had also been applied by the previous government for similar schemes. He highlighted that the majority of renewable energy investment comes from the private sector. He reported that 7.7 gigawatts of renewable capacity had been added to the grid since May 2022, compared to only one gigawatt under the previous government.
Question from Michelle Landry
The member asked why the government takes credit for rate cuts but avoids responsibility for rate hikes, and requested an apology.
Background: The Reserve Bank increased interest rates, raising concerns about cost-of-living pressures.
Answer from Jim Chalmers
The Treasurer stated he takes responsibility for his role in fighting inflation but disputed the characterization of his past comments. He aligned his views with the Reserve Bank Governor, who attributed the rate rise to stronger-than-expected private demand. He noted that public sector demand growth has eased, allowing the private sector to take up the slack. He emphasized the government's focus on productivity and responsible budget management.
Question from Michelle Landry
The member asked when power prices would come down.
Background: The member cited a manufacturer in her electorate that saw power bills rise by 70 per cent over four years, leading to hiring freezes.
Answer from Chris Bowen
The minister cited an IEA report stating renewables are the lowest-cost technology for new electricity generation. He criticized the opposition for dropping net zero targets and supporting new coal. He noted that wholesale energy prices had fallen by a third in the last quarter.
Question from Michelle Landry
The member asked the Minister to confirm how many coal mining approvals she had granted since taking office.
Background: The Shadow Assistant Minister for Manufacturing asked the Environment Minister to confirm the number of coal mining approvals granted during the current term.
Answer from Tanya Plibersek
The Minister stated that fewer than a dozen coal mining approvals had been granted.
Question from Michelle Landry
The member asked the Minister to confirm the exact number of coal projects approved, clarifying if it was between six and 12.
Background: Following a previous answer, the member asked for clarification on the exact number of coal projects approved, specifically if it was between six and 12.
Answer from Tanya Plibersek
The Minister stated that 10 coal mines or extensions had been approved, with four cancelled. She noted that three gas extraction projects and over 80 renewable energy projects had been approved. She highlighted that 15 gigawatts of renewable energy had been added to the grid and that renewables were on track to reach 82 per cent by 2030.
