On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 10 of 232 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.

Child Trafficking and Child Sexual Exploitation Material (Amendment) Bill 2022: Committee Stage

I move amendment No. 25: In page 5, lines 10 and 11, to delete “Child Trafficking and Child Sexual Exploitation Material (Amendment) Act 2004” and substitute “Child Trafficking and Child Sexual Abuse Material (Amendment) Act 2004”. These amendments update references to the "Child Trafficking and Child Sexual Abuse Material (Amendment) Act 2004" in the Bill to keep it consistent. Simple language is all we have used in this section and these two amendments.
