Compare how Penny Wright and Lee Rhiannon voted on refugee family reunification
Penny Wright
Former Australian Greens Senator for SA July 2011 – September 2015
Lee Rhiannon
Former Australian Greens Senator for NSW July 2011 – August 2018
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should ensure that refugees in Australia are able to apply for family reunification visas so that their families can join them in Australia
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?
