Compare how Richard Colbeck and Judith Troeth voted on increasing the diversity of media ownership
Richard Colbeck
Liberal Party Senator for Tasmania since February 2018
Judith Troeth
Former Liberal Party Senator for Victoria July 1993 – June 2011
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should use regulation to increase the diversity of publishers and broadcasters in Australia's media industry by, for example, setting a threshold for the maximum market share of any one company.
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?
