Compare how Carol Brown and David Smith voted on banning mobiles and other devices in immigration detention
Carol Brown
Australian Labor Party Senator for Tasmania since August 2005
David Smith
Australian Labor Party Representative for Bean since May 2019
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should give the Minister the power to prohibit items such as mobile phones, SIM cards and internet capable devices for people in immigration detention facilities
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?
