Compare how Joel Fitzgibbon and Sarah Henderson voted on greater control over items brought into immigration detention centres
Joel Fitzgibbon
Former Australian Labor Party Representative for Hunter March 1996 – May 2022
Sarah Henderson
Liberal Party Senator for Victoria since September 2019
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?
