Compare how Kelvin Thomson and Peter Garrett voted on increasing competition in bulk wheat export
Kelvin Thomson
Former Australian Labor Party Representative for Wills March 1996 – May 2016
Peter Garrett
Former Australian Labor Party Representative for Kingsford Smith October 2004 – August 2013
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should deregulate Australia's wheat export market so that bulk wheat export is no longer done through a single exporter (which is known as a 'single desk' policy)
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?
