Compare how Kerry Nettle and Barnaby Joyce voted on increasing freedom of political communication
Kerry Nettle
Former Australian Greens Senator for NSW July 2002 – June 2008
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 increase freedom of political communication in Australia by, for example, protecting people's right to inform others about issues and events in the public interest
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?
