David Leyonhjelm

Former Liberal Democratic Party Senator for NSW July 2014 – March 2019

Voted a mixture of for and against imprisoning immigration detention workers who record or reveal information from their work

How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should make it an offence punishable by imprisonment for Immigration and Border Protection employees, consultants and contractors to record or disclose information that they obtained while working in Australia's immigration detention centres

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?
