We can't say anything concrete about how Penny Wong voted on offshore processing for people seeking asylum in Australia

How Penny Wong voted compared to someone who agrees that people seeking asylum in Australia, who arrive without a visa and particularly those who arrive by boat, should be held offshore in an Australian territory like Christmas Island while their application is processed (See the policy "For regional processing of asylum seekers" for more on processing asylum claims in other countries, like Nauru)

How "We can't say anything concrete about how they voted on" is worked out

Normally a person's votes count towards a score which is used to work out a simple phrase to summarise their position on a policy. However in this case Penny Wong was absent during all divisions for this policy. So, it's impossible to say anything concrete.
