Declining the ordinary business

Marine conservation, fuel retailing, water stewardship, animal welfare, higher education access for students from the territories, and tribal trust land homeownership — six finished measures, all carried by Republicans, all refused. These are not ideological set pieces. They are the routine output of a working chamber, and he declined most of what came past him.

Three amendment votes on defence and farm vehicles complete the record, running in both directions.
