Compare how Nick Champion and Philip Ruddock voted on increasing the price of subsidised medicine
Nick Champion
Former Australian Labor Party Representative for Spence May 2019 – February 2022
Philip Ruddock
Former Liberal Party Representative for Berowra March 1993 – May 2016
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should increase the amount that patients pay for medicine under the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) and the Repatriation Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (known as the 'co-payment')
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?
