Compare how Chris Ketter and Kristina Keneally voted on protecting Australian sovereignty in trade agreements
Chris Ketter
Former Australian Labor Party Senator for Queensland July 2014 – July 2019
Kristina Keneally
Former Australian Labor Party Senator for NSW February 2018 – April 2022
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should ensure that Australian sovereignty always comes first when signing trade agreements so that the government can protect Australian interests (including its workforce and industries) without risking legal action from foreign investors under provisions such as investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) clauses
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?
