Patrick Dodson

Former Australian Labor Party Senator for WA April 2016 – January 2024

Voted a mixture of for and against increasing the foreign aid budget to 0.7% of Gross National Income

How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should allocate 0.7% of Gross National Income (GNI) to foreign aid in line with the United Nations' target

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?
