Compare how Michael Sukkar and Sarah Henderson voted on drug testing welfare recipients
Michael Sukkar
Liberal Party Representative for Deakin since September 2013
Sarah Henderson
Liberal Party Senator for Victoria since September 2019
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should introduce mandatory drug testing for people who receive certain welfare payments
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?
