Compare how Bob Day and Christine Milne voted on refugee family reunification
Bob Day
Former Family First Party Senator for SA July 2014 – November 2016
Christine Milne
Former Australian Greens Senator for Tasmania July 2005 – August 2015
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should ensure that refugees in Australia are able to apply for family reunification visas so that their families can join them in Australia
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?
