Compare Penny Wong with someone else

Shows people in order of those who voted always the same as Penny Wong (100% agreement) to those who never voted the same (0% agreement).

We only compare those votes where both people attended. This may reveal relationships between people that were previously unsuspected. Or it may be nonsense.
