You see the thing is . . . Democracy
How the current Mackellar MP votes
Affects us all
We're all affected by the laws that get passed in parliament, whether we're aware of them or not.
Our MP's vote affects how we look after our environment, the education of our children and the kind of future we build. Every vote in parliament makes a difference as some laws are passed with a small majority of just one or two votes.
It's important and it shapes everything about our lives and the future we are creating for children.
It's pretty simple really.
You don't need to read through everything our current representative has ever said.
We recommend that you begin by identifying what's most important to you and then ask yourself whether our current representative's views and voting pattern aligns with your values.
Follow the link on the left to see how your representative votes on the things that matter to you. You might be surprised.
After all, they're here to represent you and me, and the rest of us as our voice in Canberra.
