Compare how Robert Ray and Barnaby Joyce voted on increasing availability of abortion drugs
Robert Ray
Former Australian Labor Party Senator for Victoria July 1981 – May 2008
Barnaby Joyce
National Party Representative for New England since December 2017
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should increase the availability of RU486 and other medications that can induce an abortion
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?
