Compare how Janet Rice and Maria Kovacic voted on the federal government calling for a ceasefire in Gaza (2023-24)
Janet Rice
Former Australian Greens Senator for Victoria July 2014 – April 2024
Maria Kovacic
Liberal Party Senator for NSW since May 2023
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the Australian Government should call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire to end the humanitarian disaster in Gaza that began in October 2023, which is now the subject of an ongoing case in the International Court of Justice (ICJ), in which South Africa is accusing Israel of genocide
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?
