Compare how Warren Snowdon and Wayne Swan voted on increasing eligibility requirements for Australian citizenship
Warren Snowdon
Former Australian Labor Party Representative for Lingiari November 2001 – May 2022
Wayne Swan
Former Australian Labor Party Representative for Lilley October 1998 – May 2019
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should take a restrictive approach to granting Australian citizenship by introducing more eligibility requirements, such as applicants needing greater English language proficiency and needing to spend more time living in Australia before they can submit their applications
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?
