Compare how Robert Simms and Jo Lindgren voted on speeding things along in Parliament (procedural)
Robert Simms
Former Australian Greens Senator for SA September 2015 – May 2016
Jo Lindgren
Former Liberal Party Senator for Queensland May 2015 – May 2016
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that Members of Parliament (MPs) and Senators should vote to speed things along by supporting motions to 'put the question' (known as 'closure' or 'gag' motions), which require Parliament to immediately vote on a question rather than debating it any further
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?
