Compare how Mathias Cormann and Marise Payne voted on changing the wording of section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act
Mathias Cormann

Marise Payne

How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should change section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act so that the words "insult", "offend", "humiliate" are replaced with the word "harass"
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?
