Compare how Sarah Henderson and Matthew Canavan voted on self-governance of the territories
Sarah Henderson
Liberal Party Senator for Victoria since September 2019
Matthew Canavan
Liberal National Party Senator for Queensland since July 2014
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should not interfere in, nor intervene with, the governance of federal territories - such as the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) or the Northern Territory (NT) - and should allow those territories to create and uphold their own laws
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?
