Doug Cameron

Matt Thistlethwaite

How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should put a time limit on how long asylum seekers can be detained while their claims for asylum are being processed
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?
