Compare how Susan Lamb and Sarah Henderson voted on civil celebrants having the right to refuse to marry same-sex couples
Susan Lamb
Former Australian Labor Party Representative for Longman July 2018 – May 2019
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 protect the right of celebrants to refuse to marry same-sex couples if doing so would be against their religious or conscientious beliefs
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?
