Compare how Karen Grogan and Richard Colbeck voted on compulsory income management for welfare recipients
Karen Grogan
Australian Labor Party Senator for SA since September 2021
Richard Colbeck
Liberal Party Senator for Tasmania since February 2018
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should introduce a hybrid welfare quarantining regime to replace the Cashless Debit Card (CDC) regime and it should be compulsory for certain recipients
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?
