Compare how Jane Hume and Lisa Singh voted on changing the wording of section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act
Jane Hume
Liberal Party Senator for Victoria since July 2016
Lisa Singh
Former Australian Labor Party Senator for Tasmania July 2011 – July 2019
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should change section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act so that the words "insult", "offend", "humiliate" are replaced with the word "harass"
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?
