Compare how Louise Markus and Gary Gray voted on the Intervention in the Northern Territory
Louise Markus
Former Liberal Party Representative for Macquarie August 2010 – July 2016
Gary Gray
Former Australian Labor Party Representative for Brand November 2007 – May 2016
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the Federal Government should respond to reports about high levels of child sexual abuse in some Indigenous communities in the Northern Territory by introducing the Northern Territory National Emergency Response or the very similar Stronger Futures Policy, also referred to as "the intervention"
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?
