Compare how Linda Reynolds and David Smith voted on increasing government support for the dairy industry
Linda Reynolds
Liberal Party Senator for WA since July 2014
David Smith
Australian Labor Party Representative for Bean since May 2019
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should increase their support of Australia's dairy industry by, for example, regulating increased milk prices
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?
