Compare how Wendy Askew and Janet Rice voted on treating COVID vaccine status as a protected attribute
Wendy Askew
Liberal Party Senator for Tasmania since March 2019
Janet Rice
Former Australian Greens Senator for Victoria July 2014 – April 2024
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should introduce anti-discrimination laws so that a person cannot be discriminated against on the basis of their COVID vaccine status
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?
