On prevailing side: this member voted
with the winning side in 25 of
177 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.
Party over time
This is the point of the site: contributions keep the party
held on the day, not the one held now.

Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill 2022: Committee and Remaining Stages
I will simply reply by saying that I am responding to particular things that Senator Ward chose to say.

If he chose to say them and it was in order, then it is in order for me to reply at this point. I will conclude by saying that everything that is being proposed here today leaves open the possibility that people will be protected against crimes based on hateful motivation. I will put it to the Senators again - we are here in this House as politicians - that if someone is attacked because they are a child of a political family, and that has a chilling effect on them ever getting involved in politics, that is serious…

No, they are protected. Of course they are protected under criminal law.

Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill 2022: Committee and Remaining Stages
The Minister has said something that is untrue. I ask her, given that we are talking about the Government and its responsibilities regarding truthfulness, to take a pause and read amendment No. 100. I ask her to withdraw the assertion that there is nothing in my amendment and indeed those of others that would protect a transgender person.

Senator Higgins warned against creating fear around the existence of transgender people. I think that is a concern that everybody can share. Everybody should be against any creation of fear around transgender people. Senator McDowell, who spoke eloquently, put his finger on it when he said that the important word is "empathic". There is a different thing when we talk about the activity of trans activists and the implications of that activity for child protection, in particular, and for the protection of women's saf…
