Compare how Guy Barnett and Penny Wong voted on stem cell research
Guy Barnett

Penny Wong
Australian Labor Party Senator for SA since July 2002
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should allow certain types of stem cell research, including human embryo research
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?
