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.
Policies they shape, and why
Voting record
Most votes in Parliament are party votes, where 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 show an MP’s own view are conscience (personal) votes, where MPs vote individually.
No conscience (personal) votes are recorded for Casey Costello this term. These votes are rare, because Parliament decides most matters by party vote. We record them from Hansard as they occur.
