Australian Labor Party

How these positions are calculated: Each score is based on how Australian Labor Party MPs actually voted in parliamentary divisions (formal votes). A score of "Strong Support" means the party's MPs consistently voted Aye (yes) on divisions related to this issue. "Strong Opposition" means they consistently voted No. "Split" means the party was divided. Important caveat: Parliamentary divisions include procedural motions (e.g., opposition urgency motions, referrals to committee). A governing party often votes No to defeat opposition motions — even on issues they support. Scores should be read as "voting patterns" rather than absolute policy positions.
