Voting Record
Statement by Allegra Spender MP, 11/09/24
I’m proud that I’ve voted 100% of the time in line with the values of the Wentworth community.
That’s the benefit of being an independent – I get to decide every vote on an issue-by-issue basis.
That’s not something MPs from the major parties can say. They vote based on what their leaders tell them to do. Only an Independent is free to vote on the policy, not driven by the politics.
As of August 2024, my record shows that when the Coalition calls a vote, I’ve supported it 56% of the time. When Labor calls a vote it’s 50%. And when the Greens do, it’s 49%. There’s a lot of misinformation out there, so you can see every vote I’ve cast below.
