Compare how Brian Burston and Sarah Hanson-Young voted on pill testing
Brian Burston
Former United Australia Party Senator for NSW June 2018 – July 2019
Sarah Hanson-Young
Australian Greens Senator for SA since July 2008
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should develop and implement a pill testing policy to reduce the risk of death and/or injury caused by taking illicit drugs
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?
