Compare how Ben Small and David Van voted on increasing transparency of the China-Australia relationship
Ben Small

David Van
Independent Senator for Victoria since June 2023
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the Australian Government should provide more transparency of our country's political relationship with China
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?
