Compare how Lisa Singh and David Smith voted on a Royal Commission into Violence and Abuse against People with Disability
Lisa Singh
Former Australian Labor Party Senator for Tasmania July 2011 – July 2019
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 establish a Royal Commission to investigate and report on violence and abuse against people with disability in light of the the disproportionately high number of reports of abuse of Australians with a disability by people who are meant to care for them
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?
