Compare how David Smith and Kim Carr voted on stopping former ministers from taking lobbying positions within five years
David Smith
Australian Labor Party Representative for Bean since May 2019
Kim Carr
Former Australian Labor Party Senator for Victoria April 1993 – May 2022
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should tighten the ministerial code of conduct to stop former ministers from taking up lobbying positions - including in-house positions - within five years of leaving Parliament
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?
