Compare how Richard Colbeck and Penny Wright voted on more scrutiny of intelligence services & police
Richard Colbeck
Liberal Party Senator for Tasmania since February 2018
Penny Wright
Former Australian Greens Senator for SA July 2011 – September 2015
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that there should be more scrutiny or oversight of the actions and powers of Australian intelligence and law enforcement agencies, including the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO), the Australian Secret Intelligence Service (ASIS) and the Australian Federal Police (AFP)
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?
