Compare how Brendan O'Connor and Melissa Price voted on increasing political transparency
Brendan O'Connor
Australian Labor Party Representative for Gorton since October 2004
Melissa Price
Liberal Party Representative for Durack since September 2013
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should increase transparency requirements for political parties (for example, requiring full and prompt disclosure of any political donations on easy-to-search public websites)
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?
