Compare how Penny Wright and John Williams voted on funding the national school chaplaincy program
Penny Wright

John Williams
Former National Party Senator for NSW July 2008 – July 2019
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that The federal government should continue to fund the National School Chaplaincy Program (NSCP) to fund chaplains in Australian primary and secondary schools
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?
