Greg Hunt

Former Liberal Party Representative for Flinders November 2001 – May 2022

Voted consistently against increasing consumer protections

How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should introduce legislation that increases consumer protections by, for example, encouraging competition

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?
