Compare how Fiona Nash and David Feeney voted on same-sex marriage equality
Fiona Nash
Former National Party Senator for NSW July 2005 – October 2017
David Feeney
Former Australian Labor Party Representative for Batman September 2013 – February 2018
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the Federal Government should amend the Marriage Act 1961 so that same-sex couples can marry under Australian law
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?
