Compare how Richard Colbeck and Barry O'Sullivan voted on increasing funding for legal aid
Richard Colbeck
Liberal Party Senator for Tasmania since February 2018
Barry O'Sullivan
Former National Party Senator for Queensland February 2014 – July 2019
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should maintain or increase funding for the legal assistance sector (Legal Aid, community legal centres, etc.)
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?
