Compare how Bridget McKenzie and Nigel Scullion voted on a declared area offence
Bridget McKenzie
National Party Senator for Victoria since July 2011
Nigel Scullion
Former Country Liberal Party Senator for NT November 2001 – July 2019
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should make it an offence to enter or remain in areas that have been listed as “declared areas” by the Minister for Foreign Affairs because of terrorist activity (such as the Mosul district in Iraq and Al-Raqqa Province in Syria)
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?
