Anthony Chisholm

Australian Labor Party Senator for Queensland since July 2016

Voted consistently against putting welfare payments onto cashless debit cards (or indue cards) on an ongoing basis

How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should extend the Cashless Debit Card (or Indue) program on an ongoing basis, meaning that they should continue to put a large proportion of a person's welfare payment onto a debit card that cannot be used for alcohol or gambling and cannot be used to make cash withdrawals (see the policy "For putting welfare payments onto cashless debit cards (or indue cards) on a temporary basis as a trial" for votes on the program's trial period)

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?
