Compare how James McGrath and Scott Ryan voted on voluntary student union fees
James McGrath
Liberal National Party Senator for Queensland since July 2014
Scott Ryan
Former President Senator for Victoria November 2017 – October 2021
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that university students should be able to choose whether or not to pay student services and amenities fees (also called student union fees)
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?
