Compare how Brian Burston and Richard Colbeck voted on Continuing Detention Orders (CDOs)
Brian Burston
Former United Australia Party Senator for NSW June 2018 – July 2019
Richard Colbeck
Liberal Party Senator for Tasmania since February 2018
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should introduce laws that allow people who have been convicted of certain terrorist offences to be kept in detention even after their custodial sentences have ended if there is an unacceptable risk that they will commit certain serious terrorism offences after being released
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?
