Compare how Pat Conaghan and Tanya Plibersek voted on protecting Australian sovereignty in trade agreements
Pat Conaghan
National Party Representative for Cowper since May 2019
Tanya Plibersek
Australian Labor Party Representative for Sydney since October 1998
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should ensure that Australian sovereignty always comes first when signing trade agreements so that the government can protect Australian interests (including its workforce and industries) without risking legal action from foreign investors under provisions such as investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) clauses
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?
