Compare how Malcolm Roberts and David Van voted on offshore oil mining
Malcolm Roberts
Pauline Hanson's One Nation Party Senator for Queensland since July 2019
David Van
Independent Senator for Victoria since June 2023
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should support offshore petroleum mining by, for example, granting exploration and drilling licences
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?
