Compare how Laura Smyth and Julia Gillard voted on a minerals resource rent tax
Laura Smyth
Former Australian Labor Party Representative for La Trobe August 2010 – September 2013
Julia Gillard
Former Australian Labor Party Representative for Lalor October 1998 – August 2013
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should put a tax on profits earned from mining mineral resources such as coal and iron ore
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?
