Compare how Pat Farmer and Dennis Jensen voted on increasing the diversity of media ownership
Pat Farmer
Former Liberal Party Representative for Macarthur November 2001 – August 2010
Dennis Jensen
Former Liberal Party Representative for Tangney October 2004 – May 2016
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?
