Compare how Chris Hayes and George Christensen voted on greater control over items brought into immigration detention centres
Chris Hayes
Former Australian Labor Party Representative for Fowler August 2010 – May 2022
George Christensen
Former National Party Representative for Dawson August 2010 – May 2022
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should make laws that ensure that the minister can control what items people are allowed to bring into Australia's immigration detention centres by, for example, passing laws that allow authorised officers to search both facilities and people and seize any prohibited items found
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?
