Compare how Dave Sharma and Tony Zappia voted on prioritising religious freedom
Dave Sharma
Liberal Party Senator for NSW since November 2023
Tony Zappia
Australian Labor Party Representative for Makin since November 2007
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should protect religious freedoms over other rights and freedoms (for example, by giving religious organisations the right to discriminate)
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?
