I’m committed to being fully transparent about my voting record. It’s a privilege to represent the people of Curtin in Parliament, and I work hard to ensure your voice is represented every time I step
into the chamber.

As an Independent, every vote is a conscience vote.

In general, my voting is driven by what I believe is good for Curtin and Australia. I agonise over every vote and try to hear both sides of an issue before deciding how to vote. If I do not think I have enough time to form an informed position on a vote, i will abstain (I haven’t done this yet).

My aim is to attend every division (formal vote in the House of Representatives). If I do not attend a division, I will be transparent about the reason I did not attend.

You can see how I voted in every division here.

Most decisions made in the House of Representatives are by a vote “on the voices”. This means the MPs who are present in the chamber call out “aye” or “no” and the Speaker declares the result without a record being made of the individual votes. If you would like to know how I voted on a matter decided “on the voices”, please contact me.
