Compare how Dave Sharma and Rowan Ramsey voted on speeding things along in Parliament (procedural)
Dave Sharma
Liberal Party Senator for NSW since November 2023
Rowan Ramsey
Liberal Party Representative for Grey since November 2007
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that Members of Parliament (MPs) and Senators should vote to speed things along by supporting motions to 'put the question' (known as 'closure' or 'gag' motions), which require Parliament to immediately vote on a question rather than debating it any further
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?
