Compare how David Smith and Marise Payne voted on increasing protection of Australia's fresh water
David Smith
Australian Labor Party Representative for Bean since May 2019
Marise Payne
Former Liberal Party Senator for NSW April 1997 – September 2023
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should introduce legislation that increases the protection of Australia's fresh water resources, including its river and groundwater systems
Now this is where it gets a bit tricky… Two people might vote the same way on votes they both attended, so their votes are 100% in agreement. They might also have voted in a way we’d describe differently when looking at all of one person's votes. If the other person didn’t or couldn’t have attended those votes we leave those out of the comparison. Because that just wouldn’t be fair now, would it?
