Compare how Andrew Bartlett and Linda Reynolds voted on civil celebrants having the right to refuse to marry same-sex couples
Andrew Bartlett
Former Australian Greens Senator for Queensland November 2017 – August 2018
Linda Reynolds
Liberal Party Senator for WA since July 2014
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should protect the right of celebrants to refuse to marry same-sex couples if doing so would be against their religious or conscientious beliefs
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?
