Compare how Scott Ryan and Alex Antic voted on offshore processing for people seeking asylum in Australia
Scott Ryan
Former President Senator for Victoria November 2017 – October 2021
Alex Antic
Liberal Party Senator for SA since July 2019
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that people seeking asylum in Australia, who arrive without a visa and particularly those who arrive by boat, should be held offshore in an Australian territory like Christmas Island while their application is processed (See the policy "For regional processing of asylum seekers" for more on processing asylum claims in other countries, like Nauru)
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?
