Compare how Dorinda Cox and Jana Stewart voted on suspending the rules to allow a vote to happen (procedural)
Dorinda Cox
Australian Greens Senator for WA since September 2021
Jana Stewart
Australian Labor Party Senator for Victoria since May 2022
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that Members of Parliament (MPs) and Senators should vote to suspend standing and sessional orders (that is, the procedural rules of Parliament) so that their colleagues can introduce motions for Parliament to vote on even when the the procedural rules would prevent them from doing so
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?
