From the 2025 Community Priorities Survey (ACT Government, YourSay Panel, summary report, April 2026), carried out 21 October to 4 November 2025: 1,801 people answered. An opt-in panel of Canberrans aged 18 and over, with extra young people recruited through a second panel, weighted by age, gender and region to match the 2021 Census. “What they most wanted” is out of the 503 people who picked this area; each could choose up to three. This shows what people told one survey. It isn’t a vote, and it doesn’t say how any MLA should vote.

How a parliamentary vote relates to an issue isn’t always straightforward. Until checked, we show the recorded votes without interpreting whether an MLA supported or opposed the issue. How issues are checked
An issue is our grouping of recorded votes about the same thing. Any pattern shown describes how members voted, not whether anyone was right.
