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 Sophie Scamps
The member asked the Prime Minister why Australia had not joined the coalition of countries imposing trade restrictions on illegal settlements, despite the UK Foreign Secretary's acknowledgment of ethnic cleansing and the contrast between commitments and reality.
Background: The United Kingdom and 11 other nations declared commerce limits on unlawful colonies in the West Bank, praising Australia's involvement.
Answer from Anthony Albanese
The Prime Minister affirmed Australia's commitment to a two-state solution and stated that Israeli settlements in the West Bank were illegal under international law. He explained that Australia had restricted travel and applied specific financial penalties against high-ranking Israeli ministers and extremist settlers involved in violence. The Prime Minister clarified that Australia was not pursuing a blanket import ban due to concerns about unintended consequences for Palestinians. He stated the government would continue to work with partners on targeted measures to deter illegal settlements.
Question from Sophie Scamps
The member asked if the government would expel the Israeli ambassador and what steps would be taken to ensure justice for Zomi Frankcom and her colleagues.
Background: The member cited the IDF's decision not to open a criminal investigation into the deaths of Australian aid workers.
Answer from Anthony Albanese
The Prime Minister stated that Israel's decision to close its investigation without criminal proceedings was an outrage and fell short of expected accountability. He noted that the government had made numerous representations to the Israeli government, including direct conversations with Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Herzog. The Minister for Foreign Affairs had called in the Israeli ambassador to register strong views. The Prime Minister affirmed that the government would consult with Ms Frankcom's family before announcing further steps and would continue to press for justice.
Question from Sophie Scamps
The member asked the Minister for Health and Ageing how the government would ensure no NDIS participant was exited from the scheme until appropriate foundation supports were fully funded and operational.
Background: The member cited warnings from a Senate inquiry that alternative foundational supports were not ready or fully funded before NDIS participants were moved off the scheme.
Answer from Mark Butler
The minister stated that foundational supports were agreed to be in place by 1 January 2028, following a 2023 National Cabinet decision. He noted that $10 billion had been committed to fund these supports, shared between the Commonwealth and states. He mentioned that Thriving Kids was underway and would ramp up from 1 October, with full rollout expected by 1 January 2028 for children under nine. He affirmed that the government would ensure no Australians were left without adequate assistance.
Question from Sophie Scamps
The member asked when the government would implement a sugar-sweetened beverage reformulation levy to protect children's dental health.
Background: The member cited high rates of childhood tooth decay and asked for a sugar-sweetened beverage levy.
Answer from Mark Butler
The Minister said the government did not intend to levy a charge on sugary drinks. He pointed out the low take-up of the childhood dental benefits scheme and noted that front-of-packet labelling would become compulsory. He referred to talks with industry about reformulating foods to cut sugar, citing differences in beverage sugar levels between Australia and the UK.
Question from Sophie Scamps
The member asked why the government had not implemented all Murphy report recommendations, such as a national regulator, to save lives.
Background: The Murphy report recommended stronger gambling regulations, including a national regulator.
Answer from Anthony Albanese
The Prime Minister stated that the government had introduced legislation restricting gambling advertising, including on jerseys and grounds, and allowing opt-outs. He emphasized that the government had worked constructively with the anti-gambling sector, broadcasters, and sporting organizations to ensure reforms were practical. He described the legislation as the strongest action taken by any government in history.
Question from Sophie Scamps
The member asked if the government would consider restoring financial assistance grants to one per cent of federal taxation to address the funding crisis affecting local governments.
Background: Local councils had written to parliamentarians warning of a funding crisis and requesting restored financial assistance grants.
Answer from Jim Chalmers
The Treasurer acknowledged the funding request from local governments. He stated that the government had already provided $2.9 billion in financial assistance grants for roads and services. He mentioned the $2 billion Local Infrastructure Fund for housing projects. He cited a further $780 million allocated to the Thriving Suburbs and Growing Regions programs, which brought total investment to over $1.7 billion. He noted the Stronger Communities Program and Active Transport Fund provided another $500 million. He also referenced the Roads to Recovery Program funding of $1 billion annually.
Question from Sophie Scamps
The member asked why the government would not accept that the PRRT ramp-up is not occurring and simply tax gas exports, given that gas industry revenue has increased fivefold since 2000.
Background: The member for Mackellar questioned the Prime Minister on the Petroleum Resource Rent Tax (PRRT), noting that despite rising gas revenues, PRRT collections have not increased since 2000.
Answer from Anthony Albanese
The Prime Minister stated that the government's priority is securing fuel due to global conflicts and inflation impacts. He noted that the budget increased the PRRT revenue estimate by $1.6 billion because the tax is designed to ramp up over time as investments mature. He highlighted the gas reservation plan, which reserves 20 per cent of east coast exports for domestic use, similar to Western Australia. He emphasized the importance of honoring export contracts to maintain international trade relationships and noted that gas prices are currently down.
Question from Sophie Scamps
The member asked if the government would commit to reforming housing tax concessions to address worsening intergenerational inequity, citing polling data.
Background: Polling showed support for reforming housing tax concessions to address intergenerational inequity.
Answer from Jim Chalmers
The Treasurer stated that the government's position on housing tax concessions had not changed. He emphasized that the government was addressing intergenerational issues through increased housing supply, five per cent deposit schemes, and tax cuts that benefited younger workers. He also noted superannuation reforms aimed at fairness. He indicated that any further changes would be a matter for the upcoming budget.
Question from Sophie Scamps
The member asked whether the Prime Minister would commit to having an independent body decide personal staff allocations for non-government parliamentarians to avoid conflict of interest.
Background: Allegations that staff allocations were offered in exchange for support of the FOI Amendment Bill.
Answer from Anthony Albanese
The Prime Minister stated that he was surprised to find that crossbench members had double the staff of party members under the previous government. He argued that the current allocations are fair and reasonable, noting that crossbenchers have more staff proportionally due to not being part of party processes. He dismissed the allegations, stating that most representations from crossbenchers are about their staff rather than policy issues.
Question from Sophie Scamps
The member asked whether personal staff were used to encourage the coalition to support the Freedom of Information Amendment Bill.
Background: Allegations of using staff allocations to secure support for the FOI Amendment Bill.
Answer from Anthony Albanese
The Prime Minister stated that the coalition did not support the bill, which he described as an area needing reform.
Question from Sophie Scamps
The member asked why the government ignored the recommendation to legislate an independent appointment process, rather than releasing a non-binding seven-point framework.
Background: A review found the public sector board appointments process lacked integrity and resembled patronage, recommending legislation for an independent process.
Answer from Jim Chalmers
The Treasurer, representing the Minister for Public Service Reform, stated that the government had reformed the system to focus on merit and the national interest, replacing unchecked ministerial power. He explained that the new framework extended beyond government boards to cover departmental secretaries and statutory office holders, requiring appointments to reflect diversity, uphold integrity, and be based on rigorous skills assessments. He emphasized that mandatory transparency and reporting requirements ensured ministerial accountability to parliament and the public.
Question from Sophie Scamps
The member asked if the Prime Minister would sanction Israeli institutions linked to settlement expansion and reiterate commitment to a two-state solution.
Background: Israel approved measures to legalise settlement expansion in the West Bank.
Answer from Richard Marles
The Deputy Prime Minister stated that the government supports a two-state solution ensuring Palestinian statehood and Israeli security. He noted that existing sanctions were in place and that the President of Israel was visiting Australia as an honoured guest. He affirmed that the government's position remains consistent with past governments of both parties.
Question from Sophie Scamps
The member asked the minister to confirm that the Santos Gladstone LNG export contract would not be extended beyond 2031, as recommended by the ACCC, given its impact on domestic gas prices.
Background: Concerns were raised about gas exports driving up domestic prices. The question concerned a specific export contract with Santos.
Answer from Madeleine King
The minister stated that the government was undertaking a review of the gas market to examine policies and regulatory mechanisms. She noted that the arrangements with KOGAS and Gladstone LNG expire in 2031 and that any future arrangements must meet Australian law obligations. She did not confirm whether the contract would be extended.
Question from Sophie Scamps
The member asked the Minister for Health what reassurance could be provided regarding the continuation of private services at Northern Beaches Hospital following Healthscope's receivership.
Background: Healthscope, the private operator of Northern Beaches Hospital, entered receivership in May. Public services were transitioning to NSW Health, but uncertainty remained about private services.
Answer from Mark Butler
The minister criticized the privatization of public hospitals, citing past failures. He stated that NSW Health was leading the unwind of the privatization, ensuring staff jobs and clinical services were maintained. He noted that NSW Health was consulting with clinicians and the community about which private services would continue on the site. He confirmed that the Commonwealth was ensuring continuity of service across all Healthscope hospitals.
Question from Sophie Scamps
The member asked when the government would publish the Briggs report and enact laws for a clear, merit-based appointment system.
Background: An inquiry into public sector board appointments was commissioned in February 2023, with a report promised for mid-2023.
Answer from Richard Marles
The minister stated that the report was currently being considered by cabinet. He confirmed that the report would be released once the cabinet had appropriately considered it, describing this as the normal process for reports submitted to cabinet.
Question from Sophie Scamps
The member asked if the CDC director-general would be selected by an independent panel from a shortlist to prevent political interference.
Background: An independent member asked if the Australian CDC would be safeguarded from political interference in the appointment of its director-general.
Answer from Mark Butler
The minister confirmed that the CDC would be an independent agency operating separately from the Department of Health. He stated that the director-general would perform functions at arm's length from the government and could not be terminated for providing advice the government disagreed with. He explained that the appointment process would follow merit and transparency policies, involving a selection panel that would provide a shortlist to the minister for consideration.
Question from Sophie Scamps
The member asked if the minister would act to ensure imported e-bikes are safe, referencing her new bill and concerns from state ministers.
Background: The member introduced a bill to ensure imported e-bikes meet safety standards, citing risks from unregulated devices.
Answer from Catherine King
The minister acknowledged the benefits and risks of e-bikes and e-scooters. She stated that a broader national regulatory framework was being developed by state and territory transport ministers, led by Western Australia with support from the National Transport Commission. She also noted that work was underway through the Consumer Ministers Network on lithium-ion battery safety under Australian Consumer Law.
Question from Sophie Scamps
The member asked why the government had not released the Briggs report, citing a previous commitment to transparency.
Background: The independent member noted the Briggs report on public sector board appointments had been delivered 18 months ago but remained unpublished.
Answer from Jim Chalmers
The Treasurer stated the government was working through the report in a considered manner and would publish it in due course. He highlighted progress in public sector reform, including the establishment of the National Anti-Corruption Commission and strengthened whistleblower protections. He noted improvements in board diversity, with over half of government board positions now held by women. He specifically mentioned that the Reserve Bank, Productivity Commission, and Treasury were all led by women for the first time.
Question from Sophie Scamps
The member asked when Australia would be prepared to recognise Palestine as a state, citing atrocities in Gaza and international trends.
Background: An independent member cited constituent concern and international recognition of Palestine to ask about Australia's stance.
Answer from Anthony Albanese
The Prime Minister expressed distress at the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza and condemned the killing of civilians. He affirmed the government's commitment to a two-state solution. He noted that recognition of Palestine could happen prior to the completion of a peace process. He stated that the timing of recognition would depend on whether it advanced the objective of a just and lasting peace.
Question from Sophie Scamps
The member asked the Prime Minister if he would consider adopting her bill, which requires long-term consideration of future generations' wellbeing in policy decisions. If not, she asked for the reason.
Background: The member introduced the Wellbeing of Future Generations Bill.
Answer from Anthony Albanese
The Prime Minister committed to reviewing the ideas in the bill and agreed on the importance of intergenerational equity. He highlighted government actions such as establishing the Economic Inclusion Advisory Committee, the Office of Youth Affairs, and more robust intergenerational reports. He noted that debt is $177 billion lower than forecast and cited investments in education, housing, and climate action as addressing young people's concerns. He also mentioned the commitment to cut student debt by 20 per cent in the second term.
