Compare how Malcolm Turnbull and Barnaby Joyce voted on turning back asylum boats when possible
Malcolm Turnbull
Former Liberal Party Representative for Wentworth October 2004 – August 2018
Barnaby Joyce
National Party Representative for New England since December 2017
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should issue instructions for border protection forces to turn back boats carrying asylum seekers to Australia where it is safe to do 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?
