Compare how Jackie Kelly and Alexander Downer voted on increasing the diversity of media ownership
Jackie Kelly
Former Liberal Party Representative for Lindsay October 1996 – October 2007
Alexander Downer
Former Liberal Party Representative for Mayo December 1984 – July 2008
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should use regulation to increase the diversity of publishers and broadcasters in Australia's media industry by, for example, setting a threshold for the maximum market share of any one company.
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?
