Compare how Claire Moore and Joe Bullock voted on revoking citizenship of dual nationals involved with terrorism offences by the minister
Claire Moore
Former Australian Labor Party Senator for Queensland July 2002 – July 2019
Joe Bullock
Former Australian Labor Party Senator for WA July 2014 – April 2016
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should give the immigration minister the power to revoke the citizenship of people who have dual nationality (that is, are also citizens of another country) if they take part in certain terrorism-related offences [NOTE: following a High Court decision that ruled that the Minister did not have the power to revoke citizenship in this manner, there is now a new policy titled "Revoking citizenship of dual nationals involved with terrorism offences by the courts", which involves giving the citizenship-revoking power to the courts rather than the Minister themself]
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?
