Compare how Helen Coonan and Barnaby Joyce voted on increasing the diversity of media ownership
Helen Coonan
Former Liberal Party Senator for NSW July 1996 – August 2011
Barnaby Joyce
National Party Representative for New England since December 2017
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should use regulation to increase the diversity of publishers and broadcasters in Australia's media industry by, for example, setting a threshold for the maximum market share of any one company.
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?
