Compare how Anthony Chisholm and Louise Pratt voted on increasing the cost of humanities degrees
Anthony Chisholm
Australian Labor Party Senator for Queensland since July 2016
Louise Pratt
Australian Labor Party Senator for WA since July 2016
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should substantially increase the cost of humanities degrees at university (that is, degrees focussed on the study of human culture and society) in order to discourage students from enrolling in the the subject area and instead enrol in other subject areas, such as mathematics
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?
