Voting record

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

New Peoples’ Alliance
Voted Nov. 1, 2020
No

“Our defence is in ruins, our justice and security is laughable, we do not need more violent young men coming to our country. This proposal puts more strain on our already failing public services (which I have tried to further fund; the proposals were quashed by other parties.”

Compassionate Collective
Voted Oct. 26, 2020
Yes

“While the Collective doesn't agree with the harsher requirements for citizenship, the improved compassionate attitudes for refugees and asylum seekers matches with the Collective's main message of showing compassion to our fellow brethren. As such the Collective would endorse this bill”
