Compare how Tony Sheldon and Don Farrell voted on increasing housing affordability
Tony Sheldon
Australian Labor Party Senator for NSW since July 2019
Don Farrell
Australian Labor Party Senator for SA since July 2016
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should take national action to increase housing affordability so that all Australians have the chance to buy their own home
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?
