Compare how Laurie Ferguson and David Fawcett voted on ending immigration detention on Nauru
Laurie Ferguson
Former Australian Labor Party Representative for Werriwa August 2010 – May 2016
David Fawcett
Liberal Party Senator for SA since July 2011
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should close its Nauru Regional Processing Centre and stop all Nauru-based processing of people's claims for asylum
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?
