During his term in Parliament, Collier was a member of the Public Accounts Committee and the Committee on Children and Young People, and Chairman of the Legislation Review Committee.[1] He is notable for switching from the right faction to the left faction in 2005 and causing the Government to back down on a proposal to resurrect the long-standing plan to build the Southern Freeway through his electorate.[2]

On 21 September 2010 Collier announced that he would not contest the 2011 state election.[3][4]
