Voting record

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

Workers Democratic Alliance
Voted March 28, 2024
Yes

“The Workers Democratic Alliance supports these reforms because essential services should be accessible and affordable to everyone. Public broadband, stronger housing protections, expanded social housing, and a well-funded public broadcaster will strengthen our communities and put people ahead of profit.”

National Development
Voted March 25, 2024
No

““The party votes NO because the proposal introduces extensive state intervention across multiple sectors, reducing market flexibility and creating significant long‑term fiscal commitments. The measures expand public ownership and restrict competition without clear evidence of efficiency or sustainability.””
