Julian Hill

Australian Labor Party Representative for Bruce since July 2016

Voted generally against a character test for Australian visas

How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should impose a character test on all non-citizens holding or applying for an Australian visa which would give the minister the power to cancel or refuse a visa under certain character-related circumstances as set out in the relevant legislation

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?
