Compare how Russell Trood and Steve Hutchins voted on increasing federal government support for childcare
Russell Trood
Former Liberal Party Senator for Queensland July 2005 – June 2011
Steve Hutchins
Former Australian Labor Party Senator for NSW October 1998 – June 2011
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should increase financial support for childcare and early childhood eduction by, for example, supporting increased wages for workers and providing grants for not-for-profit community child care initiatives
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?
