Compare how Mehreen Faruqi and David Smith voted on decreasing ABC and SBS funding
Mehreen Faruqi
Australian Greens Senator for NSW since August 2018
David Smith
Australian Labor Party Representative for Bean since May 2019
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should decrease funding for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) and the Special Broadcasting Service (SBS)
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?
