These are factual counts from the public record — not a score. MPs do different jobs: ministers run portfolios rather than sponsoring members’ bills, and MPs first elected in 2023 have a shorter record. We show the facts so you can decide what counts as doing enough.

Voting record
Most votes in Parliament are party votes — MPs vote as a block with their party, so on the large majority of votes Casey Costello voted the same way as NZ First. The votes that reveal an MP’s own view are conscience (personal) votes, where MPs vote individually.
Casey Costello’s conscience votes and key divisions this term are being added from the official record (Hansard / parliamentary divisions).
