This Gadget shows the times was mentioned in Parliament. The search starts on the fuill name simply because just using their surname can lead to too many false hits if the name is even slightly common.

The information comes from Hansard via the excellent API provided by Open Australia / They Vote For You. Our sincere thanks to the wonderful people who do this cool work.

Judging voting is complicated. The information here is drawn directly from theyvoteforyou.org.au

They exdplain their methodology here.

Basically legisaltion often has multiple votes on its way through Parliament. As the They Vote For You site explains: "For an MP or Senator to be marked as "voted very strongly for" a particular policy, they need to have almost always voted in a way that supports the policy (they may have voted against it once or twice, but usually only in a less important vote) and they need to have been present for almost every vote (too many absences will count against them and may even push them into the "voted against" categories since in our Parliament, not voting ultimately has the same effect as voting against something)."
