Compare how Deborah O'Neill and Robert Oakeshott voted on increasing consumer protections
Deborah O'Neill

Robert Oakeshott
Former Independent Representative for Lyne September 2008 – August 2013
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should introduce legislation that increases consumer protections by, for example, encouraging competition
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?
