On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 634 of 639 decisive votes (0 abstentions excluded). Read it as a government-or-opposition indicator rather than a measure of influence — the figure is near 100% for members supporting the government of the day and near 0% for those opposing it.
This is the point of the site: contributions keep the party held on the day, not the one held now.

I call Senator Clifford-Lee.
I thank the Minister.
That is a matter for the Leader to decide and discuss, and for the House to decide, as the Minister will know. I have no jurisdiction over that.
Senator Clifford-Lee could you resume your seat?
We are on section 68, as you know.
I ask Members to respect Senator Boyhan’s right to speak. He has not interrupted anybody here this afternoon and he has been here for most of the debate. Let him make his contribution.
We are discussing the section, Senator.

The Senator has not done much of that so far. We are discussing section 68.
No, no.
I will call Senator Ruane the minute Senator Gallagher is finished.
