Compare how Sarah Hanson-Young and Dean Smith voted on building Australia’s new submarine fleet in South Australia
Sarah Hanson-Young
Australian Greens Senator for SA since July 2008
Dean Smith
Liberal Party Senator for WA since May 2012
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should make sure that a planned fleet of 12 new submarines is built in South Australia (this new fleet was proposed in 2013 to replace the existing Collins Class submarine fleet)
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?
