"communities;
(3) notes that the Bureau of Meteorology has said:
(a) the current drought in the Murray Darling Basin is the most severe in 120 years of records; and
(b) that climate change is a significant cause of the severity of the drought; and
(4) calls on the Government to recognise that we are in the middle of a climate crisis, which has implications for droughts in this country".

How "never voted" is worked out
Normally a person's votes count towards a score which is used to work out a simple
phrase to summarise their position on a policy. However in this case
Mike Freelander
was absent during all divisions for this policy. So, it's impossible to say anything concrete other
than that they have "never voted" on this policy.
