How parliament voted on Climate & Energy

Verity has matched 220 recorded divisions to Climate & Energy, held between 4 August 2022 and 31 March 2026. 45 of them decided whether a bill should proceed or pass. The other 175 were procedural — orders for the production of documents, limits on debate, and motions to put the question.

The question Verity tracks

Should Australia take stronger action on climate change?

A vote is counted as “Stronger climate action” when it matched the direction tagged to that division, and “Prioritise energy affordability” when it went the other way — whichever way the motion itself was worded.

How each party voted

Across the 45 divisions that decided whether a bill should proceed or pass, 4 August 2022 – 25 March 2025. Procedural motions are excluded here because a government votes down opposition and crossbench motions as a bloc regardless of the policy, which tells you about the numbers on the floor rather than about the issue. The full tagged list is below.
