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 Varun Ghosh
The senator asked how the government's approach is strengthening the economy, repairing the budget, and providing cost-of-living support to Australians amidst global uncertainty.
Background: Global conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine are creating challenging economic circumstances, prompting questions about the government's economic management.
Answer from Katy Gallagher
The minister reported that global headline inflation had increased by 4.7 per cent, but Australian inflation had decreased considerably. She highlighted that Australia's economic growth, employment growth, and participation rates outperformed those of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The minister stated that the budget exceeded the mid-year update by $44.9 billion and was over $250 billion stronger than when the government took office, citing fiscal discipline and debt reduction as key strategies.
Question from Varun Ghosh
The member asked what actions the government was taking to secure affordable gas for Australian households and businesses, citing previous energy crises under the former coalition government. He sought details on how the new plan would strengthen national resilience.
Background: The government announced a plan for a domestic gas reservation to address energy shortages and price shocks. The question sought to highlight the government's actions to secure affordable gas for households and businesses.
Answer from Tim Ayres
The minister announced a domestic gas reservation plan reserving up to 20 per cent of gas exports for domestic use to lower prices and fix supply shortages. He noted that gas prices had fallen from around $60 a gigajoule and highlighted support from manufacturers like BlueScope and Manufacturing Australia. He criticized the previous government's lack of action and contrasted the current plan with the opposition's previous proposals. In response to supplementaries, he warned against policies proposed by One Nation that could threaten the Tomago aluminium smelter and rail investments.
Question from Varun Ghosh
The senator asked the minister to outline how the government was leading the world in protecting children online. He sought details on the tools provided to the eSafety Commissioner and the risks associated with the current approach.
Background: The government was promoting its leadership in online safety, particularly regarding the social media minimum-age law and powers for the eSafety Commissioner.
Answer from Don Farrell
The minister stated that over 20 countries were looking to Australia's lead on social media minimum-age laws. He noted that laws introduced in June strengthened the eSafety Commissioner's investigative powers and doubled fines for noncompliance to over $109 million. The Commissioner could request more information from social media and age-verification companies. The minister argued that delaying social media access for under-16s allowed them to build resilience and digital literacy, and called on other parties to pass the strengthening legislation.
Question from Varun Ghosh
The senator asked for details on the latest labour force figures, specifically regarding unemployment rates and participation. He followed up by asking how the government is supporting workers facing cost-of-living pressures and what measures are in place to support women in the workforce.
Background: New Australian Bureau of Statistics labour force data was released.
Answer from Murray Watt
The minister reported that the labour market remains resilient, with over 1.3 million jobs added since the election. He noted that while employment decreased by 15,800 in July, there was a net increase of over 190,000 jobs over the year, with full-time employment reaching a record 10.2 million. The unemployment rate remained low by historical standards, and the underemployment rate fell slightly. He highlighted that annual nominal wages have grown above three per cent for four years. Regarding cost-of-living pressures, he cited higher wages and tax cuts. On women's workforce participation, he mentioned tackling the gender pay gap through minimum wage rises, expanded paid parental leave with superannuation, and wage boosts in care sectors.
Question from Varun Ghosh
The member asked why the government prioritised assistance with living expenses for workers and how sound economic management enabled these measures. He sought an explanation of the link between lifting wages and easing cost-of-living pressures, and how the expansion of paid parental leave contributes to economic security.
Background: The member highlighted recent income tax cuts, pay rises for three million workers, and payments for 2.6 million Australians.
Answer from Katy Gallagher
The minister attributed the ability to provide relief to budget savings that repair the budget and lower debt interest. She noted that the Reserve Bank held interest rates steady at 4.35 per cent as headline inflation fell for the third consecutive month. She listed measures including tax cuts, cheaper medicines, record hospital and education funding, and support for first home buyers. Regarding wages, she highlighted a 4.75 per cent increase in the national minimum wage, resulting in full-time minimum wage earners receiving over $1,000 per week. She also detailed the expansion of paid parental leave to 26 weeks at a rate of more than $1,000 per week, with superannuation contributions and higher income eligibility limits.
Question from Varun Ghosh
The senator asked the minister to outline the benefits of the upcoming tax cuts for working Australians and how they assist with cost-of-living pressures. He subsequently asked how these cuts complement other relief measures such as wage increases and parental leave extensions. He also asked why the government continues to deliver tax cuts and when remaining legislative cuts will be implemented.
Background: The government is delivering its fifth round of tax cuts, with the average worker expected to keep up to $2,800 annually. Senator Ghosh asked for an outline of these cuts and their impact on the cost of living.
Answer from Katy Gallagher
The minister confirmed that tax cuts commence on 1 July, lowering the 16 per cent rate to 15 per cent for those earning under $45,000, with a further reduction to 14 per cent from 1 July 2027. She highlighted the Working Australians Tax Offset of up to $250 annually and a $1,000 instant deduction from 2026-27. She noted that the national minimum wage will rise by six per cent and modern award wages by 4.75 per cent. Paid parental leave will extend to 26 weeks, and social security payments will be indexed for 2.6 million Australians. She stated these measures are funded by reforms to negative gearing and capital gains tax.
Question from Varun Ghosh
The senator asked what actions the government was taking to secure Australia's fuel and supply chains. Supplementary questions asked how the gas reservation policy would benefit households and businesses, and what the risks were if energy sovereignty was not strengthened.
Background: Global energy markets were disrupted by war in the Middle East, prompting government focus on energy sovereignty.
Answer from Tim Ayres
The minister detailed a $10 billion investment in fuel and fertiliser security, including a $7.5 billion facility for Export Finance Australia to derisk shipments. He announced a $3.2 billion Australian fuel security reserve for long-term diesel and aviation fuel, and an increase in minimum stockholding obligations to 50 days. Regarding gas reservation, he stated it would deliver cheaper gas, shield the economy from shocks, and preserve export relationships. He contrasted this with the previous government's record, citing poor energy infrastructure and high gas prices.
Question from Varun Ghosh
The member asked how the government was working with states and territories to guarantee Australia's vital fuel security via the recently announced plan.
Background: The Prime Minister announced the National Fuel Security Plan to coordinate a consistent response to the energy supply shock caused by conflict in the Middle East.
Answer from Penny Wong
The minister stated that Iran's weaponisation of the Strait of Hormuz was creating a major disruption to worldwide oil and gas availability, impacting prices globally. National Cabinet agreed to the National Fuel Security Plan to coordinate a consistent, staged response across all levels of government. The plan aims to keep the community updated and encourage voluntary fuel reduction to direct more supply to regional areas under pressure.
Question from Varun Ghosh
The member asked the minister to explain the policy change and how it would ease pressure on the fuel market. He sought details on the government's response to international energy disruptions.
Background: Global energy markets were disrupted by the Middle East war. The government announced measures to increase fuel supply to the Australian market.
Answer from Tim Ayres
The minister explained that fuel quality standards were temporarily amended to allow higher sulphur levels for 60 days, enabling 100 million litres of additional monthly supply from Ampol. He stated that this supply would be prioritized for regions with shortages and the wholesale spot market. He confirmed that the national coordination mechanism would continue to address supply chain bottlenecks.
Question from Varun Ghosh
The member asked why it is important for the government to deliver affordable and reliable energy.
Background: The government is focused on delivering affordable and reliable energy for industry.
Answer from Tim Ayres
The minister criticised the previous government's record on energy security and highlighted the current government's focus on delivering cheaper electricity and new generation capacity. In response to supplementary questions about the approach to industrial energy and manufacturing, he stated that the government is working with the aluminium sector and the NSW government to deliver new transmission and generation. He described the government's package as the biggest pro-manufacturing-industry package in history and criticised the opposition for voting against it.
Question from Varun Ghosh
The member asked the minister to provide examples of industrial investments driven by cleaner energy and to confirm that coal power was too expensive to support aluminium smelters.
Background: The question invited the government to outline how it was using renewable energy to secure industrial competitiveness.
Answer from Tim Ayres
The minister stated that the government had a credible plan to achieve net zero by 2050, citing 15 gigawatts of renewables in storage and 20 more in the pipeline. He confirmed that Rio Tinto had curtailed production at Boyne Island due to expensive coal power and that Bayswater coal power would be too costly after 2028. The minister attributed these issues to the previous government's lack of investment in the energy system.
Question from Varun Ghosh
The senator asked how a balanced migration policy benefited the nation and what the government was doing to maintain social cohesion amidst rising anti-immigration sentiment.
Background: Recent protests and political rhetoric had raised concerns about anti-immigration sentiment and social cohesion in Australia.
Answer from Murray Watt
The minister highlighted Australia's multicultural benefits, including economic contributions and cultural diversity. He stated the government was investing in housing and infrastructure to support population growth. He criticised the opposition for stoking division and blamed migrants for housing shortages, urging unity and rejecting racism.
Question from Varun Ghosh
The member asked about progress on meeting Australia's climate targets and how the government is lowering emissions while strengthening the economy. He followed up by asking about the national interest in meeting climate targets and the barriers to investment in the energy system.
Background: The member asked about progress on meeting climate targets and how the government is lowering emissions while strengthening the economy.
Answer from Tim Ayres
The minister reported that emissions were 440 million tonnes in the year to March, 28 per cent below 2005 levels, with preliminary June data showing further reductions. He highlighted the Capacity Investment Scheme unlocking tens of billions in investment and creating 10,000 construction jobs, and the cheaper home batteries scheme benefiting 41,000 households. He identified policy uncertainty as the chief barrier to investment, contrasting the current approach with the previous government's record of capital flight.
Question from Varun Ghosh
The senator asked about progress on the cheaper home batteries commitment and broader renewable energy investment.
Background: The government committed to delivering cheaper home batteries to reduce electricity costs.
Answer from Tim Ayres
The minister reported that over 15,000 households had taken up cheaper home batteries since 1 July, reducing battery prices by 30 per cent and energy bills by up to 90 per cent for some. He highlighted record renewable uptake and lower emissions due to policies like the safeguard reforms and Capacity Investment Scheme. He emphasised that policy certainty is crucial for market confidence and investment in clean energy infrastructure.
Question from Varun Ghosh
The senator asked how the government was creating secure jobs in the resources industry through local processing. He followed up by asking how production tax credits would create jobs and who supported them. He also asked why the credits were important for Western Australia and what was preventing their implementation.
Background: The government plans to process critical minerals in Australia rather than exporting them for refinement.
Answer from Don Farrell
The minister stated that production tax credits would ensure critical minerals are processed locally, maximising value and creating jobs, particularly in Western Australia. He noted that industry groups, including the Association of Mining and Exploration Companies and the Minerals Council of Australia, supported the credits. He claimed that the Liberal and National parties were standing in the way of implementation, turning their backs on the resources sector and Western Australia.
