Compare how Kim Carr and Patrick Dodson voted on reducing taxes for high-income earners
Kim Carr
Former Australian Labor Party Senator for Victoria April 1993 – May 2022
Patrick Dodson
Former Australian Labor Party Senator for WA April 2016 – January 2024
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should reduce the amount of income tax that high-income earners (those who earn over $200,000 per year) must pay each year
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?
