Compare how Paul Fletcher and Luke Howarth voted on putting welfare payments onto cashless debit cards (or indue cards) on a temporary basis as a trial
Paul Fletcher
Liberal Party Representative for Bradfield since December 2009
Luke Howarth
Liberal Party Representative for Petrie since September 2013
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should create a time-limited trial of putting a large proportion of a person's welfare payment onto a debit card that cannot be used for alcohol or gambling and cannot be used to make cash withdrawals (see the policy "For putting welfare payments onto cashless debit cards (or indue cards) on an ongoing basis" for votes on extending the program indefinitely)
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?
