Compare how Philip Ruddock and Deborah O'Neill voted on restricting donations to political parties
Philip Ruddock
Former Liberal Party Representative for Berowra March 1993 – May 2016
Deborah O'Neill
Australian Labor Party Senator for NSW since November 2013
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should introduce restrictions to the amount and type of donations that political parties can receive in order to prevent corruption or the appearance of corruption in government
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?
