Compare how Patrick Dodson and Matthew Canavan voted on ending immigration detention on Manus Island
Patrick Dodson
Former Australian Labor Party Senator for WA April 2016 – January 2024
Matthew Canavan
Liberal National Party Senator for Queensland since July 2014
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should close its Manus Regional Processing Centre and stop all Manus-based processing of people's claims for asylum
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?
