The MP's votes count towards a weighted average where the most important votes get 50 points, less important votes get 10 points, and less important votes for which the MP was absent get 2 points. In important votes the MP gets awarded the full 50 points for voting the same as the policy, 0 points for voting against the policy, and 25 points for not voting. In less important votes, the MP gets 10 points for voting with the policy, 0 points for voting against, and 1 (out of 2) if absent.
Then, the number gets converted to a simple english language phrase based on the range of values it's within.
| No of votes | Points | Out of | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Most important votes (50 points) | |||
| MP voted with policy | 21 | 1050 | 1050 |
| MP voted against policy | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| MP absent | 2 | 50 | 100 |
| Less important votes (10 points) | |||
| MP voted with policy | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| MP voted against policy | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Less important absentees (2 points) | |||
| MP absent* | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Total: | 1100 | 1150 | |
|
*Pressure of other work means MPs or Senators are not always available to vote – it does not always indicate they have abstained. Therefore, being absent on a less important vote makes a disproportionatly small difference. |

Agreement score = MP's points / total points = 1100 / 1150 = 96%.
