Compare how Malcolm Roberts and Derryn Hinch voted on increasing surveillance powers
Malcolm Roberts
Pauline Hanson's One Nation Party Senator for Queensland since July 2019
Derryn Hinch
Former Derryn Hinch's Justice Party Senator for Victoria July 2016 – July 2019
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should introduce legislation to increase the powers of intelligence and law enforcement agencies to intercept and retain communications related to persons of interest. These agencies include the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO), Australian Secret Intelligence Service (ASIS) and the Australian Federal Police (AFP).
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?
