Voting record

Every vote must state a public reason. Most recent first.

New Peoples’ Alliance
Voted March 25, 2020
No

“People will pay what the market decides there is no reason for the state to be involved in a consumer - landlord relationship”

Compassionate Collective
Voted March 6, 2020
No

“While the Collective would support the use of rent controls for the betterment of the people from being exploited by the market, the inclusion of the stricter alcohol article - which would undo the change enacted by our ‘Liberal Drinking Act 2019’ - means we must vote against the NML proposal in order to protect individual liberty, individual responsibility and the integrity of the Collective”
