Compare how Penny Wong and Ben Small voted on procedural fairness
Penny Wong
Australian Labor Party Senator for SA since July 2002
Ben Small
Former Liberal Party Senator for WA November 2020 – May 2022
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that all Australian laws should be subject to procedural fairness requirements so that people can request reasons for government decisions that impact them personally and can appeal those decisions on the basis of whether they were made lawfully
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?
