Compare how Bruce Billson and Melissa Parke voted on tighter means testing of family payments
Bruce Billson
Former Liberal Party Representative for Dunkley March 1996 – May 2016
Melissa Parke
Former Australian Labor Party Representative for Fremantle November 2007 – May 2016
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should target family payments to low and moderate income households, to the exclusion of higher income households.
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?
