Sharman Stone

Former Liberal Party Representative for Murray March 1996 – May 2016

Voted generally for suspending the rules to allow a vote to happen (procedural)
Photo of Sarah Henderson

Sarah Henderson

Liberal Party Senator for Victoria since September 2019

Voted generally against suspending the rules to allow a vote to happen (procedural)

How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that Members of Parliament (MPs) and Senators should vote to suspend standing and sessional orders (that is, the procedural rules of Parliament) so that their colleagues can introduce motions for Parliament to vote on even when the the procedural rules would prevent them from doing so

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?
