Compare how Scott Ryan and Patrick Dodson voted on an independent inquiry into Attorney-General Christian Porter
Scott Ryan
Former President Senator for Victoria November 2017 – October 2021
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 establish an independent inquiry into whether Attorney-General Christian Porter is fit to remain in his role in light of the recent sexual assault allegation
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?
