Compare how Doug Cameron and Helen Polley voted on increasing the foreign aid budget to 0.7% of Gross National Income
Doug Cameron
Former Australian Labor Party Senator for NSW July 2008 – July 2019
Helen Polley
Australian Labor Party Senator for Tasmania since July 2005
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should allocate 0.7% of Gross National Income (GNI) to foreign aid in line with the United Nations' target
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?
