Compare how Jo Lindgren and Bob Day voted on regional processing of asylum seekers
Jo Lindgren
Former Liberal Party Senator for Queensland May 2015 – May 2016
Bob Day
Former Family First Party Senator for SA July 2014 – November 2016
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that asylum seekers who arrive in Australia without a visa, particularly those who arrive by boat, should have their asylum claims processed regionally in a country such as the Republic of Nauru or Papua New Guinea (See the policy "For offshore processing of asylum seekers" for more on processing asylum seeker claims in Australian territories like Christmas Island)
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?
