Compare how Kay Patterson and Linda Kirk voted on increasing competition in bulk wheat export
Kay Patterson
Former Liberal Party Senator for Victoria July 1987 – June 2008
Linda Kirk
Former Australian Labor Party Senator for SA July 2002 – June 2008
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should deregulate Australia's wheat export market so that bulk wheat export is no longer done through a single exporter (which is known as a 'single desk' policy)
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?
