Compare how Meryl Swanson and Tony Smith voted on reproductive bodily autonomy
Meryl Swanson
Australian Labor Party Representative for Paterson since July 2016
Tony Smith
Former Liberal Party Representative for Casey November 2021 – May 2022
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should ensure that Australian laws protect the reproductive bodily autonomy of women and other people capable of childbearing by, for example, protecting them from pregnancy-related discrimination and ensuring they have access to pregnancy-related healthcare services, which include affordable contraception, maternity care and abortion services
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?
