Teals vote with the Greens in the House of Representatives up to 81 per cent of the time

The seven Teal MPs in the House of Representatives have voted with the radical extremist Greens Political Party on Bills between 73 and 81 per cent of the time since being elected in 2022, new figures reveal.

“On procedural motions – such as ‘that the motion be put’ or ‘that the Member be no longer heard’ – the seven Teal Party MPs have voted with the Greens between 69 and 77 per cent of the time,” Manager of Opposition Business in the House Paul Fletcher said.

“But it is the substantive votes on Bills – which, if passed, become laws with binding legal effect - which reveals just how much the Teal MPs are aligning themselves with the radical, extremist Greens Political Party, voting the same way as the Greens between 73 and 81 per cent of the time.”

The below table shows how often each Teal MP has voted with Greens Party on substantive votes on Bills. The data was obtained by the Opposition from the Parliamentary Library.

“After more than two years in Parliament, Australians can now be in no doubt about how the Teal MPs are voting,” Mr Fletcher said.

“Many Australians in electorates held by a Teal Party MP would be quite surprised to know that their representative has aligned herself so firmly with the radical, extremist Greens Political Party – who of course are well to the left of even the current Labor Government.

“For example, on 16 October 2023, Kylea Tink and Sophie Scamps voted to support an attempt by the Greens Political Party to have the House of Representatives pass a motion accusing Israel of ‘war crimes’ and an ‘illegal occupation’ of Gaza following the 7 October Hamas terrorist attack which killed 1200 people in Israel.

"The Teal MPs should explain to their constituents why they say one thing locally and vote the opposite way in Canberra.”
