Voting Record
As an Independent, I'm free to work with both sides of politics for what's right - and I'm free to stand up against what's not.
That means I get to decide every vote on an issue-by-issue basis, following consultation with our community and the experts.
That’s not something MPs from the major parties can say. They vote based on what their party bosses tell them to do.
Between May 2022 and December 2024, my record shows that when the Coalition calls a vote, I’ve supported it 60% of the time. When Labor calls a vote it’s 50%. And when the Greens do, it’s 45%.
But most of all, I'm proud that I've voted 100% of the time with the values of the Wentworth community.
There’s a lot of misinformation out there, so you can see every vote I’ve cast below.
