Compare how Nick McKim and David Smith voted on reducing taxes for middle-income earners
Nick McKim
Australian Greens Senator for Tasmania since August 2015
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 reduce income tax for middle-income earners (those who earn more than $80,000 per year)
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?
