Floor contributions count speeches in debate. Moderating the House (Speaker, Deputy, Temporary Speaker) is listed separately and is not treated as a debate score.
Pulse shows activity while in office for the year you select. Use the year tabs for continuous terms or mid-term starts (for example after a by-election).
Blank squares mean no floor speech linked that day — not proof that the House sat and they skipped, unless we also have a full sitting calendar.

In plain language: On sittings we have published and linked, this member made floor contributions on 1 day (1 speech). Use the pulse below to see when, and open a sitting to see what was said.
