Compare how Peter Whish-Wilson and Glenn Lazarus voted on putting a time limit on immigration detention
Peter Whish-Wilson
Australian Greens Senator for Tasmania since June 2012
Glenn Lazarus
Former Independent Senator for Queensland March 2015 – May 2016
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should put a time limit on how long asylum seekers can be detained while their claims for asylum are being processed
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?
